[SFRA-L] Odd little essay on Bradbury

[Jon Eller]

Thanks, Peter, for the link to Daniel Flynn's article on Bradbury in 
The American Conservative. Flynn offers some thought-provoking 
comments based on Sam Weller's 2010 book of Bradbury interviews. 
Sam's book provides a good late-life baseline for comparison with the 
social and political viewpoints that Bradbury expressed early in his 
career. As I wrote Becoming Ray Bradbury, I found a mixture of 
liberal and conservative views from the beginning. His hatred of 
totalitarian tendencies, for example, extends to the far Left as well 
as the far Right, and always has.

Best,

Jon
