Following is a link to a commentary I made about one of his short stories, "The Fog Horn," which was the basis for a monster flick "The Beast from 20,000 Fathoms Beneath the Sea." I quoted some great passages from the story. <br /><br /><br />http://tinyurl.com/pzoxaabFredhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10233846613173866140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-897228097627164771.post-89092623410757706512014-05-08T08:38:36.621-07:002014-05-08T08:38:36.621-07:00I am not, to my shame, as familiar with Bradbury a...I am not, to my shame, as familiar with Bradbury as I should be. I always meant to read more. I have his ZEN IN THE ART OF WRITING here on a shelf above my desk and I love that he counsels the reading of poetry for every would-be writer. Obviously he took his own advice.Yvettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08919246184376538331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-897228097627164771.post-12070768865367342722014-05-07T08:01:11.080-07:002014-05-07T08:01:11.080-07:00RT,

Bradbury unlike so many other SF writers has probably been able to escape to some extent the SF ghetto, but the label is still there and his works, as far as I can tell, always end up in the SF/Fantasy section and not in the Lit/Fiction section where he belongs.

Publishers and libraries "market" him that way. He offers much more to readers. Thanks for reminding me that I should revisit Bradbury.R.T.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13220814349193561823noreply@blogger.com
