Description
Ray Bradbury discusses his book, "Death Is A Lonely Business." He begins by explaining the plot of the book and how he drew on his experiences living in Venice during the early years of his career. He stresses the importance of a proper setting when writing a mystery. He goes on to discuss his writing process, the craft of writing, and his belief that writer's block is the mind telling the writer that the story should not be written and that he or she should move on to something else. Also in this interview he discusses his childhood and how his childhood experiences serve as inspiration for his work.
