Ray Bradbury? No poetic bone? In his body?
Everything he writes is poetic. I used to get intoxicated on his prose.
But I must admit that his last novels were disappointing.
All flash and fancy with no substance underneath.
One arrived at the end out of breath because there was
no place to land, no park bench on which to catch one's breath.
All the leaves were last year's leaves and all the dust
clouds swirled apace and all the doors led nowhere.
It was exhausting. But the aerial acrobatics took one's breath away..
I was also disappointed that he frowned so publicly on Michael Moore's
homage.
