From The Vault

In our first talk from 1964 Ray Brad­bury who at this point had pub­lished his most note­wor­thy books, The Mar­t­ian chron­i­cles, Fahren­heit 451 and The Illus­trat­ed Man. But this inter­view by Fran­cis Roberts was right on the heels of his 1962 nov­el Some­thing Wicked This Way Comes. This talk is appro­pri­ate­ly called The World of Ray Brad­bury as he clear­ly traces the moti­va­tion for his unique writ­ing style from his child­hood to the present.

In this next speech deliv­ered at the Inter­na­tion­al Col­lo­qui­um on Mars in Decem­ber 1973, Brad­bury reflects on the lit­er­ary and vision­ary mas­ters before him that inspired him as a child to dream. He implores each of us to set pop­u­lar cul­ture aside for a moment so that we can focus on our own dreams. It is these dreams that will help us evolve here on Earth and One day.… nav­i­gate the stars.
