I was warped early by Ray Bradbury and Edgar Allan Poe. I was very fond of Franz Kafka.
A ton of Proust isn’t worth an ounce of Ray Bradbury.
Yeah, I loved Ray Bradbury.
Ray Bradbury was not ahead of his time. He was perfectly of his time, and more than that: he created his time and left his mark on the time that followed.
I enjoyed reading all the classic authors like Isaac Asimov and Bradbury.
