Reviews

'Let us now praise Ray Bradbury, the uncrowned poet laureate of science fiction.' The Times

'It is impossible not to admire the vigour of his prose, similes and metaphors constantly cascading from his imagination' Spectator

‘Bradbury is an authentic original’ Time Magazine

‘No other writer uses language with greater originality and zest. he seems to be a American Dylan Thomas – with discipline’ Sunday Telegraph

PRAISE FOR NOW AND FOREVER:
‘A meditation on writing, inspiration, ageing and change, all deep themes lightly handled, both elegiac and suspenseful… There are echos in it not only of Melville, but of Shakespeare, Whitman and Poe … The language sings.’ The Times
