literary critics?
I need help with a research paper. I need to use three literary essays. I really admire Bradbury's work and wanted to use one of his books and write about it.
Problem is, I can't find any essays. If anyone has any suggestions (preferrably essays that are published in books), it would be so helpful. Thanks.

He has at least two books of essays, Zen in the Art of Writing and Yestermorrow. Another is due out next year.

Hm. I need essays on Bradbury's work. Not by him. But thanks.

Some critical works on Bradbury have been listed on these boards, including links to lists of such works on Philnic's site. Look around.

Greenberg (Taplinger, 1980); RAY BRADBURY AND THE POETICS OF REVERIE, by William F. Touponce (UMI Research Press, 1984); RAY BRADBURY, by David Mogen (Twayne, 1986); RAY BRADBURY, by William F.
