| seleniumgirl's Full Review: Bradbury, Ray |
From "Night train to Babylon" to "Fee Fie Foe Fum" through "Mr. Pale," Ray Bradbury exudes a new style, wonderful with wisdom, in Driving Blind: Stories. The characters encountered are more complete and more intense than any other individuals Bradbury has before created. Lives leap from the page, inviting the reader to join in the mere exuberance of living.
Perspective of perspective and life is the potent potion as Bradbury magicks the reader into midnight gambling on a speeding train, the home of a genteel grandmother and her roaring secret, the beauty of freedom and self discovery in late summer, and the mysterious allure of a beguiling French meal. Each story is a world unto itself, overflowing with details and beauties that could fill a novel. These savory morsels leave the reader an undeniable desire for more--to read again; to ponder earnestly and exhaustively.
Bradbury's talent in welcoming others into worlds as yet unknown reaches a zenith in Driving Blind, as he entices us to explore what would appear so mundane, so normal in everyday life. Question the obvious, imagine what could be--all is not as it seems.
Ray Bradbury's Driving Blind: Stories was first published in October of 1997 by Avon Books. ISBN: 0-380-78960-4.
