Description: Listen to the Echoes: The Ray Bradbury Interviews by Sam Weller Hardcover, 224 pages 7 10 in. 19.05 x 27.305 cm.Acclaimed biographer and Bradbury scholar Sam Weller spent more than a decade interviewing Ray Bradbury, who admitted, "Sam Weller knows more about my life than I do." Revealed in Weller and Bradburys conversations, collected in Listen to the Echoes: The Ray Bradbury Interviews, is a vivid portrait of the author. A creative genius, an opinionated and occasionally contrarian thinker, "and a nostalgic futurist," Bradbury longed for yesterday even as he looked toward tomorrow.During the process of conducting research for the book, noted Los Angeles photographer Zen Sekizawa photographed Bradburys home and decades of his accumulated possessions. Her photographs present an alternate portrait of Bradbury-one that is more poignant now that his personal possessions have been sold at auction and his home of more than half a century razed.Listen to the Echoes: The Ray Bradbury Interviews is the definitive collection of interviews with this American icon, illustrated with Sekizawas stunning color photographs (including previously unpublished images).

Long Description Thsi expanded series of interviews with the American sci-fi legend includes photos of Bradburys home in LA Acclaimed biographer and Bradbury scholar Sam Weller spent more than a decade interviewing the author Ray Bradbury, who himself admitted that "Sam Weller knows more about my life than I do." In Weller and Bradburys conversations, collected in Listen to the Echoes: The Ray Bradbury Interviews, a vivid portrait of Bradbury emerges: a creative genius, an opinionated and occasionally contrarian thinker, and a nostalgic futurist, longing for yesterday even as he looked forward. During the process of conducting research and putting together the book, Weller invited noted Los Angeles photographer Zen Sekizawa to photograph Bradburys home and his decades of accumulated possessions. Sekizawas photographs present an alternate portrait of Bradbury--one that is even more poignant today, now that Bradburys personal possessions have been sold at auction and his home of more than half a century razed. Listen to the Echoes: The Ray Bradbury Interviews is the definitive collection of interviews with this American icon, illustrated with Sekizawas stunning color photographs (including previously unpublished images).
