About this product

Product Information

The author of Fahrenehit 451 and The Martian Chronicles , offers a personal selection of his best stories, featuring "Dandelion Wine," "The Illustrated Man," "The Veldt," "The Wonderful Ice Cream Suit," and twenty other classics. American cousin to Borges and Garcia Marquez, Ray Bradbury is a writer whose vision of the world is so intense that the objects in it sometimes levitate or glow with otherworldly auras. Who but Bradbury could imagine the playroom in which children's fantasies become real enough to kill? The beautiful white suit that turns six down-and-out Chicanos into their ideal selves? Only Bradbury could make us identify with a man who lives in terror of his own skeleton. And if a generic science fiction writer might describe a spaceship landing on Mars, only Bradbury can tell us how the Martians see it--and the dreamlike visitors from Planet Earth.

Reviews
"Ray Bradbury is one of the most original living American authors....A curious mixture of poetry and colloquialism, [his style] is so brisk and economical...so full of unexpected quirks that it never becomes boring....Most of Ray's stories are impossible-so far-but they are certainly convincing....His work will last." -- Gilbert Highet, from the Introduction

A DIverse Sampling of the Master’s Best Speculative Fiction.
I love this guy, always have. What a wonderfully imaginative mind he possessed and what an absolutely superb prose stylist! A real Writer’s Writer. I read everything he wrote when I was in high school and college and maybe a year or so after, so all 1950s through the first few years of the 1960s. Then when I started writing seriously I read his classic “Zen and the Art of Writing”. He almost solely coined a new genre. NOT science fiction (though some of his stories definitely are), NOT fantasy (though, ditto), but SPECULATIVE fiction......’What If?’ stories. Always grounded in real life, real human responses to surreal The Vintage Bradbury might be called The Bradbury Reader as it’s an excellent and varied sampling of some of his best work, one winner after another. If you get this book, do NOT read it straight through, rather read a story or two a day. Savor it like the fine literary wine it is. Sip it over an extended period and don’t chug it down out of the bottle.Read full review
