Ray Bradbury

Forfatterbiografi

Ray Bradbury (født 22. august 1920 i Waukegan, Illinois, USA, død 5. juni 2012 i Los Angeles) var en amerikansk forfatter, der især blev kendt for science fiction og fantasy, men som også skrev med stærk poetisk stil, sociale perspektiver og fascination af barndommens erindringer. Hans internationale gennembrud og vedvarende berømmelse knyttes i særlig grad til Fahrenheit 451, en dystopisk roman om et samfund, der mister bøger og kritisk tænkning, og som sidenhen er blevet en klassiker inden for moderne litterær science fiction. Bradburys værk omfatter også romaner og novellesamlinger, herunder blandt andet The Martian Chronicles. Han skabte et stort og genkendeligt forfatterskab, der påvirkede forståelsen af genrerne som mere end “underholdning” – nemlig som litteratur, der kan rumme refleksion over teknologi, kultur og menneskelige valg. Bradbury modtog flere betydningsfulde udmærkelser. National Book Foundation hædrende ham med Medal for Distinguished Contribution to American Letters i 2000, og han fik National Medal of Arts i 2004. Han blev desuden anerkendt af Pulitzer Prize-miljøet med en special citation i 2007. Hans betydning for litteraturen ligger i den måde, hvorpå han forbandt spekulativ fiktion med menneskelig sårbarhed og moralske spørgsmål, og dermed gjorde genrerne bredt tilgængelige og dybt indflydelsesrige.
