Regular readers know I commenced on my re-reading of Ray Bradbury’s Dandelion Wine last Wednesday – finished it last night – and in one of those serindipitious moments discovered this morning that next week (most of which I will be out of town, unfortunately) is Ray Bradbury week.
From the Los Angeles Times:
Ray Bradbury, a true lion of literature and an icon of the national bookshelf, is turning 90, and the milestone is being marked in Los Angeles with an impressive array of events.
There is, of course, a ton more in the article, to be found HERE, but suffice to say my reading what may well be my favorite Bradbury book comes at a perfect time. Yes, I loved it as always, and yes, I’ll be posting on it, and yes, there’s a update to the Dandelion Wine post if you take a look.
May he live to be 100.
Ooh. I lied (accidentally) when I said I’d only read one Bradbury story. I’m pretty sure I read more than a couple, credited and not, in EC comics.
Perfect timing!
