...which in turns reminds me to say that Google News gives access to quite a few regional newspaper archives. Here is the results page for a "Ray Bradbury" Google News search.

Phil, you are a SAINT! I turned up a huge number of items through ProQuest, but they contained very few regional articles. There were interviews in the Aggelis book not found on ProQuest at all.

I haven't ploughed through those regional papers yet (and maybe never will; far too much else to look at currently!). I expect that a lot of the Bradbury finds in there will turn out to be reprints, re-titled versions of articles from elsewere.

Aggelis counted well over 300 just of interviews. I wonder where he found them all.

Which enables us, for comic effect, to deliberately mispronounce it as pluff.

Think this guy has a future? Ray Bradbury, interviewed by and on the cover of the March, 1948 issue of WRITERS' MARKETS & METHODS, referred to in dandelion's listing above:

The late Russell Kirk was a well known conservative thinker, as well as a writer of some excellent gothic tales. (One example is his novel OLD HOUSE OF FEAR.) He was also a friend and admirer of Ray Bradbury. The link below will take you to an article about Ray Bradbury, by Mr. Kirk, called "The World of Ray Bradbury":

Incidentally, the portion of Mr. Kirk's essay (apparently written, by the way, in 1968) which I find terrifying is the following: "Some librarians, too, have taken alarm. Bradbury’s stories are disturbing! No disturbances can be permitted in this perfect American culture of ours. In error, a company which distributes educational books included among a consignment of books for children one copy of Fahrenheit 451. A female librarian detected this work of heresy, and fired off a letter of furious protest to the wholesaler. How dared they send such a dreadful book? 'I took it right out in back and burned it.'"

FAHRENHEIT 451...for real.

From 1971, RAY BRADBURY, HUMANISTA DEL FUTURO, published by Helios and considered to be one of the first (if not the first) book-length, non-fiction critical studies of the work of Ray Bradbury. The book, which is in Spanish, was authored by Jose Luis Garci, and features an introduction by Ray himself:

And speaking of compositions in Spanish relating to Ray Bradbury, in March of 2019, a three-page handwritten, signed manuscript by famed writer Jorge Luis Borges...his introduction to a 1955 Spanish edition of the MARTIAN CHRONICLES (Ediciones Minotauro, 1955)...sold for over US$12,000 at auction. As Borges wrote in that introduction, "What has this man from Illinois created - I ask myself, closing the pages of his book - that his episodes of the conquest of another planet fill me with such terror and solitude?":
