That's it! Bradbury writes and then come the interpreters to distinguish the meanings behind the prose. Of course!!
Bradbury writes unawares to much he writes, vomiting passages in the morning, cleaning up at night with a measure of rationale.

The interpreters explain the intrinsic dialogues of writer and that inspiration behind his wisdom or folly.

But I know it isn't as easy as it may sound... accepting the interpreters report.

I think that's it. I think critical writing and creative writing are two different acts. I find both of them important and interesting. In talking with Ray I got the impression he is flattered that people find enough significance in what he writes to analyze it!
