I Sing the Body Electric

Synopsis

In these eighteen stories, Bradbury conducts

the reader on a tour through time and space--into the unbounded dimensions of the future,

and through remapped patterns of the past--as he intermingles the bizarre with the familiar

and brings tomorrow and yesterday closer to today.

In Bradbury's world, mechanical grandmothers, fourth-dimensional babies, and humanoid national heroes co-exist with the Irish

Republican Army, Texas chicken farmers, and "the only A-l first-class taxidermist on the Coast."And just as diverse is Bradbury's range

of voices and styles. Here are stories of suspense, humor, life--as well as of fable, science fiction (the extraordinary novella, "The Lost

City of Mars"), and the beautiful cantata for words, "Christus Apollo."

All in all, a virtuoso performance from the Master.
