Thesis on Bradbury
Hello there!
My name is Romina and I'm from Romania (somewhere in Europe Smiler. This year i'm graduating the University of Foreign Languages here in Bucharest.
Im gonna sustain my thesis on Bradbury's Fahrenheit 451 and Huxley's Brave New World. Gonna write a critical work on these two books.

Before writing any work on these books, of course its indicated to read some critical bibliography, and that is my main problem.

I appreciated Mr. Bradbury's work and that's why i choose to talk about it, hes not that known here. Thats why, the resources are very few, almost inexistent.

I would very appreciate it if you guys could help me find resources concerning this matter. Maybe give me some names of books that were written, or some resources on the web.

My paper will be 60-70 pages, it will probably be entitled "literary prophets". (i havent decided yet)
This matter is not very discussed here, and probably thats why it is so hard to find any resources.

Thank you for your time!

Best regards,
Romina

Welcome, Romina. Over the years I have compiled a file of sites that has greatly assisted me with many RB units of literature I teach at the high school level. It may take you some time to sort through all of these, yet I believe you will find some good information pertaining to Mr. Bradbury and F451, specifically.

Your theme of Huxley and Bradbury being literary prophets is proven truer and truer with each passing day. Good luck. I hope these help in some way.

Phil, of course, of course -- http://www.bradburymedia.co.uk !!!

A great site. This is a "must" for literary references and every RB fan's enjoyment. Outstanding pictorals and thorough in all ways related to books, movies, background, and covers.

(I definitely opened your site with best intentions to include for Romina. I got roaming around and must have been so dazzled by your contents I overlooked the "paste" button when the time came to post.)

Romina, Thank you for your letter, and I will gladly send you the full interview with Ray from October, as well as the article I wrote about one of his book-signing lectures. However, your email was sent to my "Bulk" folder for some reason, and when I tried to send it to my regular, "not-spam" Inbox it disappeared into cyber-space!
If you will send me your email address again I will send these items out to you right away. Good luck and godspeed.
