I was an idiot, and soon an agog, reformed idiot with something in their eye. When the continuity announcer gave a quick precis for the day’s story and a rumbling, stern voice introduced itself (‘This is Ray Bradbury…’) I almost unplugged my headphones: I had decided I knew what ‘Sci-fi’ meant, was and could be, and that it could not possibly hold anything for me. The BBC iPlayer Radio app portions its ‘Drama’ into particular (often baffling) genre categories, and generally my thumb slips to the ‘Horror/Supernatural’ and ‘Psychological’ labels. James Margaret Mitchell Marilynne Robinson Mark Twain Michael Chabon Midnight's Children Moby-Dick Nathaniel Hawthorne Nathaniel Philbrick Nick Adams Stories Nine Stories Oscar Wilde Ray Bradbury Richard B.A lot of my exposure to short stories comes through listening to readings or dramatizations on the radio, and my habit of falling under their thrall leads to many scorched shirts abandoned mid-ironing and dishes left unwashed in the sink.

Other Websites That Interest Me - Maybe They Will Interest You The next time I see a shooting star, I won’t be able to help but think of this story.īenjamin Rosenblatt: Zelig (Deal Me In 2018 - Week 31) The natural world of space takes center stage and the descriptions are beautiful, but this doesn’t come at the expense of heart, emotion, psychology…or regrets. It may sound cliche, but I would consider this story a “feast for the imagination”. With only words, he puts human faces on a space story. With only words, he blends comedy, tragedy, horror and…regrets.

But back to words – Bradbury manages to create what movie wizardry creates, but he does it with only words. He may not have been completely against it, but I get the feeling that he would have been a man of words first – then maybe pictures. I don’t know what Bradbury would think of his stories being filmed. The premise of this story is one that could easily be made into a movie with lots of special effects (actually, a movie has been made recently that is similar to this story – with lots of special effects). Of course, the lineup is a group of astronauts instead of baseball players and they were easier to keep track of.īradbury’s use of words amazes me. Space, distance, speed, screaming, lost appendages…and regrets – all get included in Ray Bradbury’s story “Kaleidoscope” which has a lineup of characters similar to the baseball story I read last week.
