I read most of The Cat’s Pajamas on the way back from San Francisco. Ray Bradbury is one of the great authors of our time. I expect I’ve mentioned that before. Some very good stuff in here, drawn from more than 50 years of his short stories. (Not republished stuff, just things that he had laying around.)

I fear, however, as Mr Bradbury gets older, and even more so once he has passed on, we’ll see a lot of cast-off short stories getting published, and this will finally rather water down his good name. After all, he has written a story almost every day for the last 70 years or so, apparently.
