About Ray Bradbury
Ray Bradbury, American novelist, short story writer, essayist, playwright, screenwriter and poet, was born August 22, 1920 in Waukegan, Illinois. He graduated from a Los Angeles high school in 1938.Although his formal education ended there, he became a "student of life," selling newspapers on L.A. street corners from 1938 to 1942, spending his nights in the public library and his days at the typewriter.He became a full-time writer in 1943, and contributed numerous short stories to periodicals before publishing a collection of them, Dark Carnival, in 1947.
His reputation as a writer of courage and vision was established with the publication of The Martian Chronicles in 1950, which describes the first attempts of Earth people to conquer and colonize Mars, and the unintended consequences.Next came The Illustrated Man and then, in 1953, Fahrenheit 451, which many consider to be Bradbury's masterpiece, a scathing indictment of censorship set in a future world where the written word is forbidden.In an attempt to salvage their history and culture, a group of rebels memorize entire works of literature and philosophy as their books are burned by the totalitarian state.Other works include The October Country, Dandelion Wine, A Medicine for Melancholy, Something Wicked This Way Comes, I Sing the Body Electric!, Quicker Than the Eye, and Driving Blind.In all, Bradbury has published more than thirty books, close to 600 short stories, and numerous poems, essays, and plays.His short stories have appeared in more than 1,000 school curriculum "recommended reading" anthologies.Mr. Bradbury's eagerly awaited new novel, From the Dust Returned, will be published by William Morrow at Halloween 2001.Morrow will release One More For the Road, a new collection Bradbury stories, at Christmas 2001.
Ray Bradbury's work has been included in four Best American Short Story collections. He has been awarded the O. Henry Memorial Award, the Benjamin Franklin Award, the World Fantasy Award for Lifetime Achievement, the Grand Master Award from the Science Fiction Writers of America, the PEN Center USA West Lifetime Achievement Award, among others.In November 2000, the National Book Foundation Medal for Distinguished Contribution to American Letters was conferred upon Mr. Bradbury at the 2000 National Book Awards Ceremony in New York City.
Ray Bradbury has never confined his vision to the purely literary. He has been nominated for an Academy Award (for his animated film Icarus Montgolfier Wright), and has won an Emmy Award (for his teleplay of The Halloween Tree).He adapted sixty-five of his stories for television's Ray Bradbury Theater. He was the creative consultant on the United States Pavilion at the 1964 New York World's Fair. In 1982 he created the interior metaphors for the Spaceship Earth display at Epcot Center, Disney World, and later contributed to the conception of the Orbitron space ride at Euro-Disney, France.
Married since 1947, Mr. Bradbury and his wife Maggie live in Los Angeles with their four beloved cats.They have four daughters and eight grandchildren.
On the occasion of his 80th birthday in August 2000, Bradbury said, "The great fun in my life has been getting up every morning and rushing to the typewriter because some new idea has hit me.The feeling I have every day is very much the same as it was when I was twelve.In any event, here I am, eighty years old, feeling no different, full of a great sense of joy, and glad for the long life that has been allowed me.I have good plans for the next ten or twenty years, and I hope you'll come along."

Ray Bradbury recommends
The Double Shadow: And Other Fantasies (1933) Clark Ashton Smith "Take one step across the threshold of his stories and you plunge into colour, sound taste and texture; into language." | Portrait of Jennie (1940) Robert Nathan "Welcome back, Portrait of Jennie. It touched and frightened me when I was twenty-four. Now, once more, it touches and frightens." | I Married a Dead Man (1948) William Irish (Cornell Woolrich) "Cornell Woolrich deserves to be discovered and rediscovered by each generation." |
A Touch of the Creature (1959) Charles Beaumont "A writer born to be good...you simply never know where his love and high excitement will take him next." | The Magic Man: And Other Science-Fantasy Stories (1965) Charles Beaumont "A writer born to be good... You simply never know where his love and high excitement will take him next..." | 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968) (Space Odyssey, book 1) Arthur C Clarke "One of the true geniuses of our time." |
The Night Country (1971) Loren Eiseley "The Night Country can be read can be read in about three hours. The vibrations from those three hours, however, might well simmer the rest of your life...." | Food for Demons (1971) E Everett Evans "I was proud, I am proud, I will always be proud of the old man with the young enthusiasms who wrote this book." | The Sun Destroyers (1973) Ross Rocklynne "I particularly liked 'The Sun Destroyers'. It surely was unusual and unexpected." |
Hegira (1979) Greg Bear "Greg Bear is one of tomorrow's up and coming authors." | The Jehovah Contract (1985) Victor Koman "A fascinating concept, imaginatively delivered." | Darkside (1986) Dennis Etchison "Dennis Etchison's Darkside at last brings him to the forefront of this genre, where he belongs!" |
Kings of the High Frontier (1996) Victor Koman "In case you, like others, have forgotten the Future, Victor Koman remembers it. He grew up there and now, with total recall, wakes us to jog our memories and rebirth Tomorrow. Would that there were a dozen more writers like him in the field." | Clownface (1999) Brad Linaweaver "A-one Linaweaver! His best! Bravo!" | After Dachau (2001) Daniel Quinn "Daniel Quinn is a genuine discovery." |
