Synopsis
This authorized biography of famed science fiction writer Ray Bradbury is a fairly positive rendering of the author's life and the influences on his work, from his birth (which Bradbury claims to remember) in Waukegan, Illinois, to his early love of comics and film and his fear of the dark, to his steady employment as a short-story writer for the pulp magazines, to his runaway success with such groundbreaking books as THE MARTIAN CHRONICLES and FAHRENHEIT 451, and finally, to his 2003 dispute with Michael Moore regarding the title of Moore's documentary FAHRENHEIT 9/11.

Industry Reviews
"A proficient study of a prodigious talent still going strong."
Kirkus (03/01/2005)

"[F]or Bradbury fans, THE BRADBURY CHRONICLES is essential. Even for those who only hazily remember reading THE MARTIAN CHRONICLES decades ago, the ascent to literary stardom of the man Time called 'The Poet of the Pulps' is an engaging, often fascinating tale."
New York Times Book Review - Andrew Leonard (07/24/2005)

"[A] compulsively readable account of an exceptionally prescient, innovative, eccentric, and dedicated writer who has electrified the imaginations of generations of readers. More scholarly and literary biographies will follow, but none will have the vitality and intimacy of this living portrait." (starred review)
Booklist - Donna Seaman (03/15/2005)
