Ray Bradbury discusses his book, “Now and Forever.” He begins by explaining that this book is a compilation of two of his older novellas, “Somewhere a Band is Playing” and “Leviathan ’99.” He talks about how Katherine Hepburn and Herman Melville influenced him to write these novellas. Bradbury discusses his early love of science fiction, and how he always wanted to read more back in the 1930s when the public libraries censored certain books. He describes his current foray into playwriting. He talks about the history of his book, “Something Wicked This Way Comes,” and how it was influenced by the film, ”Singing in the Rain.” He ends the interview by describing his current writing schedule and how he still feels like a 12 year old.
