How odd to have a book of essays from Ray Bradbury, who is known as a writer of fiction, and science fiction at that. And yet any fan of Bradbury's novels and short stories will find a familiar voice in these personal musings. Much of what Bradbury has to say is about his fiction: how various works evolved; connections he's made with famous people through his published writing; and his experiences as a screenwriter. My favorite essay tells of how, through correspondence-leading-to-friendship with the great Bernard Berenson, Bradbury thought of rewriting the endings of great books. If you like Bradbury and are interested in the art and science of reading and writing, you'll be entranced with and amused by Bradbury Speaks.
