And he tackled much the same territory as Sturgeon did...often being credited with a more artistic approach to his prose, but I'd tend to disagree, finding Sturgeon the more lean and yet more forceful prose stylist usually...a Hammett versus Chandler sort of situation. But I certainly have tended to enjoy Bradbury's work enormously over the years, even when it has seemed a bit schematic or oversimplified. I certainly remember reading R IS FOR ROCKET as I walked home from elementary school in Hazardville, CT...which might even qualify as a Bradburyesque sort of thing to have done, and the right sort of name for the town to do a Bradburyan thing in.Todd Masonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01815516018079824802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2728909293998777391.post-13719459883012931312016-05-21T15:04:08.142-07:002016-05-21T15:04:08.142-07:00I'm pretty sure this post wasn't up on Fri...I'm pretty sure this post wasn't up on Friday morning, for some reason, but I can believe I managed to miss it.
