A house with an infinite inside?Go ![]() | New ![]() | Find ![]() | Notify ![]() | Tools ![]() | Reply ![]() | |
Many years ago I read a short story by Bradbury about a house that, while looking somewhat normal on the outside, was vast and infinite inside. I can't seem to find the name of the story. It has interesting spiritual and psychological meaning, since a house in dreams is often about one's soul and self. Ray Bradbury's creative image of a house with an infinite inside is very thought-provoking. Anybody know the story? | |||

My guess: 'not' Bradbury. | ||||
|
Could this be Robert A Heinlein's "And he built a crooked house"? | ||||

I had the same thought as tinkerbell (although I couldn't remember Heinlein's title). I seem to recall Heinlein's house was a tesseract or hypercube. Not exactly infinite, but extending into dimensions we cannot directly perceive. - Phil Deputy Moderator | Visit my Bradbury website: www.bradburymedia.co.uk | Listen to my Bradbury 100 podcast: https://tinyurl.com/bradbury100pod | ||||

Tesseract is a good word. "Live Forever!" | ||||

I also thought of Tinkerbell's suggestion. | ||||

Maybe the Winchester House, in N. California? John King Tarpinian You know what you are, Mr. Bradbury? ... You are a poet! -- Aldous Huxley | ||||

I believe that you must be thinking of "House Of Leaves" by Mark Z. Danielewski. However, it is not a short story, but rather a huge novel. I highly recommend it. It's brilliant. Honestly brilliant. | ||||

Welcome aboard, Mr. Woodworth! Please update the "So...Where Y'All From?" thread! (I believe it's under "Ray's Legacy") | ||||
