Illustrated. Fine as new copy without dust jacket as issued. A collection of interviews with Ray Bradbury, including ÔThe Lost Paris Review Interview,Õ which was conducted by William Plummer in 1976, but never appeared in print until now. The interview begins with: ÒTell me why you write science fiction.Ó HereÕs BradburyÕs response in full: ÒScience fiction is the fiction of ideas. Ideas excite me, and as soon as I get excited, the adrenaline gets going and the next thing I know IÕm borrowing energy from the ideas themselves. Science fiction is any idea that occurs in the head and doesnÕt exist yet, but soon will, and will change everything for everybody, and nothing will be the same again. As soon as you have an idea that changes some small part of the world, you are writing science fiction. ItÕs always the art of the possible, never the impossible.Ó Thank you Mr. Bradbury for sharing your brilliant and amazing ideas with us. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 19308E
