Bradbury 100 - Episode 48 - Chronological Bradbury: 1939
Bradbury 100 - Celebrating the Life and Work of American Writer Ray BradburyShow Notes
This is another episode in my "Chronological Bradbury" strand - where I go through Ray Bradbury's publishing history in order.
We've reached the year 1939, when Ray turned 19. It's a year which sees him strengthening his ties with the science fiction fan community... and getting no fewer than five pieces of fiction published in amateur magazines. He's still two years ago from his first professional sale (which will come in 1941), but his jokey science fiction vignettes are beginning to evolve into proper stories.
