Baroque absurdity from Ray Bradbury
|
A Graveyard for Lunatics By Ray Bradbury.
Knopf. $18.95.
It was his ability to evoke a mood that first endeared
Waukegan's Ray Bradbury to the public at large, after his beginnings
in pulp science-fiction in the 1940s.
The Martian Chronicles (1950) presented the colonization of Mars
in the 21st century as a retelling of the settling of America and
destruction of the Indians, creating a paradoxical elegy for the
future. The thing that dazzled in 1950 was Bradbury's poetic style.
It didn't matter whether his fantasies made sense: Carried along by
Bradbury's seductive voice, they felt true.
