Arguably the most creative and innovative science fiction writer of all time, Ray Bradbury transformed entertainment literature into an art form. Thanks to classic books like "Fahrenheit 451," "The Martian Chronicles," and "Dandelion Wine," Bradbury earned a place in the pantheon of world writers, and his works expanded society's collective imagination.
In this first-ever authorized biography, award-winning journalist Sam Weller was given the privilege to immerse himself in Bradbury's own world. Weller's investigative instinct, combined with access to the writer's private archives and unpublished letters, creates a captivating and remarkable story. Bradbury's entire life is detailed minute by minute: his attempts to start an acting career, literary breakthrough in the "pulp" magazines of the forties, and his lifelong romance with his wife, Marguerite. Every detail of this enigmatic writer's captivating story is presented here, revealing all the splendor, magic, and mystery of a true literary legend.
"This is my life! It's as if Sam Weller has gotten under my skin, into my head, and into my heart, all of it is here." - Ray Bradbury
"Authorized, but truthful and candid... You won't read this biography without finding your forgotten Bradbury books and wondering why you didn't do it sooner." - Chicago Sun-Times
"Undoubtedly, this is the most candid and mesmerizing look at Bradbury's mysterious Wonderland." - Austin Chronicle
"An indispensable book for Bradbury fans. An engaging, often mesmerizing tale." - The New York Times
