Odd! Isherwood was such a convoluted character. Only time I recall reading where Isherwood was professionally involved with Bradbury was for a radio program called "New Soundings". I think it was cancelled when the King died. Perhaps Bradbury's part was broadcast before that. Maybe not. I don't recall top of my head. But Isherwood did also lecture using Bradbury as a topic in his lecture series "The Young." And he also wrote at least one piece on Bradbury for a magazine called "Tomorrow", I believe issued in the 1950's. Because of Isherwood's long list of homosexual liasons, his biography is often hard to take in chapters. Yet he admired writers like Norman Mailer and Herman Melville! This photo looks like around mid 50's?This message has been edited. Last edited by: Phil Knox,

He also wrote the first major review for Ray's The Martian Chronicles in Tomorrow magazine, October 1950, which really helped spread the word on this outstanding work.
Homosexual? I don't care. What does that have to do with anything?
You said "hard to take."
Phillina is a good word.

An English ex-pat who relocated to Hollywood that Ray befriended over the years.
