• Sommario/riassunto: Celebrated storyteller, cultural commentator, friend of astronauts, prophet of the Space Age - by the end of the 1960s, Ray Bradbury had attained a level of fame and success rarely achieved by authors, let alone authors of science fiction and fantasy. He had also embarked on a phase of his career that found him exploring new creative outlets while reinterpreting his classic tales for generations of new fans. Drawing on numerous interviews with Bradbury and privileged access to personal papers and private collections, Jonathan R. Eller examines the often overlooked second half of Bradbury's working life.
