Dandelion Wine by Ray Bradbury is a nostalgic, semi-autobiographical novel capturing the magic of childhood in 1928 Illinois. Unlike his sci-fi works, it's a lyrical meditation on life, death, and memory. Though beloved, it never won major awards, but its poetic style and warmth make it a timeless classic of American literature

Cultural illiteracy is still a huge problem. I just talked to a guy who didn't know who Ray Bradbury was. Ray Fucking Bradbury. He didn't even know about FAHRENHEIT 451. And this guy is reasonably read. Of course, I was polite and gave him the Bradbury stump speech. But if Bradbury -- one of the most eloquent and popular writers of the short story in the 20th century -- can't make it, what hope is there for ANY writer?

"No front porches. My uncle says there used to be front porches. And people sat there sometimes at night, talking when they wanted to talk, rocking, and not talking when they didn't want to talk. Sometimes they just sat there and thought about things, turned things over. My uncle says the architects got rid of the front porches because they didn't look well. But my uncle says that was merely rationalizing it; the real reason, hidden underneath, might be they didn't want people sitting like that, doing nothing, rocking, talking; that was the wrong KIND of social life. People talked too much. And they had time to think. So they ran off with the porches."
