Question:
What life event inspired Ray Bradbury to write "Fahrenheit 451"?
Ray Bradbury
American author Ray Bradbury helped legitimize science fiction as a literary genre. He started writing as a teenager in the 1930s but wrote his most celebrated work in the 1950s and 1960s. His novel Fahrenheit 451, published in 1953, is considered his best novel and has been hailed as a work of extraordinary vision. Collections of stories published as The Martian Chronicles, The Illustrated Man, and I Sing the Body Electric are all regarded as towering works of both science fiction and horror.
