A Pleasure to Burn
A Pleasure to Burn | Ray Bradbury
8 posts | 8 read | 22 to read
Ray Bradbury’s novel Fahrenheit 451 is an enduring masterwork of twentieth-century American literature—a chilling vision of a dystopian future built on the foundations of ignorance, censorship, and brutal repression. The origins and evolution of Bradbury’s darkly magnificent tale are explored in A Pleasure to Burn, a collection of sixteen selected shorter works that prefigure the grand master’s landmark novel. Classic, thematically interrelated stories alongside many crucial lesser-known ones—including, at the collection’s heart, the novellas “Long After Midnight” and “The Fireman”—A Pleasure to Burn is an indispensable companion to the most powerful work of America’s preeminent storyteller, a wondrous confirmation of the inimitable Bradbury’s brilliance, magic . . . and fire.

Checked out Speakeasy Books, a sweet new bookstore in our community this morning. I found a Bradberry book I didn‘t own! I love when new book shops pop up and I can‘t wait to visit this one again. 📚

LapReader Someone has put a few vintage Bradbury books in my building‘s book exchange. I took 1. 3y

This was an interesting collection of stories. I especially enjoyed seeing the three versions of The Fireman evolved into Fahrenheit 451. #AuthorAMonth #AAMRB

Not bad, just sort of a Bradbury B-sides. Some alternate versions of stories published in other collections, and a couple novellas (nearly identical and placed back to back) that eventually became Fahrenheit 451. I would have liked more...annotation? Maybe? Or some specifics about how these stories influenced F-451. I guess for a book I bought years ago when a Borders was closing I can't be too picky though. #BradburyOctober

If you have read Fahrenheit 451 this is a treasure to read. I love the connection to 451. You will love them.
