...right now, early in the morning in the midwest, or more so southwestern ontario canada, the air is brisk, the sun a little tempered and I swear to God it is a misplaced day from Octobers'autumn of old. If I sit quitely on my back deck and close my eyes to the whipping cool wind at my cheek it is Autumn, for the only thing missing on this dizzy day of seasons past is the familiar smell of burnt leaves and a cup of steaming hot cider - complete with cinnimon stick and a hint of rum. This is a treasure indeed, as my blood runs thick on the calenders' tenth month for alast a place to write!!!Thanks Ray, may you have a moment like this soon! ....Greetings from Canada Peter James BillingThis message has been edited.

Mog the Dog here. Does anyone know what ever happened to The Dog in the Red Bandana? Has it simply wandered off, fate unknown? MTD "I was not born, but instead created. I’m not alive, and yet I exist. I will never die, but some day I will be forgotten, as was the light by which I came into this world." MTD | ||||

Ray described the title story of his yet unreleased collection of dog stories, THE DOG IN THE RED BANDANA, as a story about a dog that wanders through a Catholic hospital hearing confession from the sick. While that collection of dog stories has yet to be published, the title story likely underwent a name change, since it appears in Ray's most recent collection, WE'LL ALWAYS HAVE PARIS, as "Pater Caninus." I think it's my favorite story in the book. | ||||

Great minds think alike, that is my favorite story in the "Paris" book, too. John King Tarpinian You know what you are, Mr. Bradbury? ... You are a poet! -- Aldous Huxley | ||||

Mog the Dog here. Thank you, Richard, for your prompt answer to a question that has wandered into my mind from time to time since Bradbury first told us about his Dog in the Red Bandana. So, it is a Golden Retriever that wanders the halls of the hospital. In my own mind it was the live version of a little toy brindle dog... MTD "I was not born, but instead created.

Merry Christmas, Mr. Bradbury! Sorry to hear you were in the hospital, and I hope you are feeling better now. I was watching King Of Kings, starring Jeffrey Hunter, and I just learned that you wrote the screenplay! That is the greatest movie ever made! Thank you, Mr. Bradbury, for writing such a great screenplay! | ||||
|
I love his book Zen in the Art of Writing. It's one of my favorites. That and a volume I have of his short stories the. That last one is about 800 pages. | ||||

Thanks for clearing that up! I wondered, but did not like to ask, whether this referred to something long ago or recent. | ||||
|
Did he actually write the screenplay for King of Kings? I thought he wrote the narration for Orson Welles. "Oh, death!" | ||||
|
Just the narration. "Live Forever!" | ||||
