The Bradbury Chronicles is a celebration of the life and work of science-fiction master Ray Bradbury. It is also an ode to the spoken word, an exploration of the art and joy of storytelling. Bradbury's prose has a poetry and musicality that just begs to be read out loud, so that's what I will be doing. Stick me in your ears (if that's not too weird, it is isn't it??) and enjoy the flow of Bradbury's words.
Episode three of The Bradbury Chronicles looks at the visceral and shocking reality of atomic warfare.
Book Club -
I would love to know what you thought, here are some discussion points to get you started;
What is the story telling us about war?
Do you agree with my interpretation that the characters could represent the fates from Greek Mythology?
I found the story to be shocking and haunting, what did you think, and had you read it before?
What stories would you like me to cover on future episodes?
