There is even one in the middle ("The Exiles") I quite dislike. Every story was written before there was a single satellite in space. The truth is that the science fiction feels very dated. He really can't be pigeonholed as a "type." Every story here isn't fabulous. Bradbury was rarely an idea man like perhaps Arthur C Clarke. They take me back just a little to that magic "sense of wonder" feeling one has as a youth. Re-reading it all these years later I am still amazed by some of these stories. When I first read this in 1976 I was already familiar with several of the stories from other collections, but reading what amounted to a collection of hits in one place put this one high on my favorites list. Think of this as Mr B's greatest hits for boys. All but two of the stories had previously appeared in other collections when they were brought together here in 1962. Most of Bradbury's writing I would not call science fiction, but with this it is. 'R is for Rocket' is a collection of collections, primarily science fiction as one would expect by the title. McCarver, a son of the Jim Crow South, had never met self-assured black men like the ones he encountered on the St Louis roster in the early 1960s. As David Halberstam ably documented in his book October 1964, the Cardinals’ success in the 1960s owed much to their progressive embrace of racial diversity. Those very same fans may later have stood in tribute to McCarver and Gibson, Cardinal heroes who embody the racial attitudes of a more hopeful era. The demonstrators got an ugly reception from some of the Cards’ diehard fans, to the embarrassment of the team and the city. There – not far from a bronze statue of Gibson himself – a crowd of African American protestors were chanting for justice for Michael Brown, the unarmed black teen killed two months ago in the St Louis suburb of Ferguson. |
