Episode 217: Ray Bradbury and The Center for Ray Bradbury Studies

12 Feb 2022

Description

Join Professor Jason Aukerman, Director of the Center for Ray Bradbury Studies, to learn about Bradbury's life and work, the creation of the center, and surprising discoveries in the archives. We discuss Fahrenheit 451 in which Bradbury cautioned us about the danger of mass media and censorship, topics even more relevant today. Jason discusses his approach to teaching writing and Bradbury's literary strengths, as well as the role of an archivist in protecting and evaluating a lifetime of work. We conclude with a bio of Bradbury and a reminder about the McCarthy era.
