My first reading of The Martian Chronicles is one of the cherished memories of my adolescence. Reading it again later, as well as his other works, I’ve come even more to appreciate the lyrical power of Bradbury’s writing. Who else could boil down Moby-Dick (in his screenplay for the John Huston film version) to its essence and actually improve on Melville, at least in the climactic scene?i
