The Ignition Point of Ray Bradbury

Posted on July 5, 2013 by Andrew Liptak in Books, Web Sites // 1 Comment

Fahrenheit 451 is one of my absolute favorite novels of all time, and I’ve been wanting to write about it for a while now. The genesis behind the book is an interesting one, because it doesn’t conform to the usual process: author sits down, writes the story. It started as one story, merged with another, got published, got expanded, had other things added onto it, and then onto bookshelves. It’s an important work, and I’ve found that its backstory makes it even more so.

Go read The Ignition Point of Ray Bradbury over on Kirkus Reviews.

    Somehow I’ve managed to get through elementary school, high school and college and now my adult life (thus far) without reading this important work. I’m tempted to finally break through that streak, especially when I saw this lovely edition of the book that I would like to own:
