It also means that many of the stories are fun and quirky.īradbury isn't afraid to take a chance on a notion, and this bravado leads to some misses, but it also leads to some hits that you wouldn't find in a more thoughtfully-screened author's collection.įans of Bradbury will already be prepared for his odd take on dialogue, which is sometimes realistic, but more often riddled with philosophical musings that sound like they are being performed for the sake of an audience.Īnother interesting feature of Bradbury is his versatility. It means that many of them are almost like little sketches of a single, simple idea rather than well-polished texts that contain many conscious layers. What's this mean for the reader? It means that, in general, the stories are short, even for the genre of short stories.
In his rather indulgent afterword, Bradbury hints that he dashes off many of his short stories in two hours or less.
