3.0 out of 5 stars Pathetically vain, 10 Nov 2004
By Jacques COULARDEAU "A soul doctor, so to say" (OLLIERGUES France) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
This review is from: One More for the Road (Paperback)
We all know Ray Bradbury. We all know he has written some of the best and most disquieting stories in the world, after WW2. But this volume of short stories is very uneven, at least. Some stories are quite interesting, but some other are the pathetic love letters of an old man, a very old man, to life, even and especially when he speaks of death. The point is that there is absolutely no commitment to any human values like freedom, happiness, creativity, except in one way, what he calls himself a very « selfish » way : his freedom soon to be questioned by death, his happiness that has to be satisfied by the world and other people, even dead writers, his creativity that he sums up to drowning in metaphors. But all that is vain and of no value for the reader. What proof does he have that the very young and talented author he met once would have been anything else but a derelict forty years later. And anyway why did he turned up a derelict forty years later ? Where is the cause, where is the explanation ? Nowhere in the story where Ray Bradbury just uses a time-machine to confront the derelict with what he was forty years before, as if the key to the future was in the hands of this young man, as if the only one responsible for his dereliction forty years later were him and him only. There is no compassion for anyone in this book. And the love scene between the two old people in one of the story is absurd, even if he may tell us it is his own experience. It is absurd because it is vain : at seventy one will never be seventeen again, not even in one's head, mind or soul. This is a caricature. These stories are maybe good for some men's magazine but I understand why they were sold for nearly nothing in London in october 2004. The English at least seem to know what is pathetic or even vain and absurd.

Dr Jacques COULARDEAU
