RIP Ray Bradbury

[firecat]

A story of Ray Bradbury's that has always haunted me, and one that seems appropriate for the occasion, is "There Will Come Soft Rains" from The Martian Chronicles. Wikipedia links to a PDF version of the story.

His book on writing, Zen in the Art of Writing is also superb.

I'm especially fond of "Death Is a Lonely Business," because it is set in Venice,CA in the late 1940's. He captured the place so well! I have deep early memories of Venice just a few years later. It was and is a magic place.
