-- Anon --
I've just finished reading Bradbury's obit in The New York Times - it was a very good one. I'm not as familiar with Bradbury's work as I should be, but familiar enough to mourn the loss of this great talent.
ReplyDeleteI have Bradbury's book on writing and always remember his admonition that 'all writers should read poetry.'

ReplyDeleteHe was one of the great US short story writers. I grew up reading his stories. I suspect he and Ted Sturgeon, another one of the greats, had a strong and unrecognized influence on me.
