REVIEWS
“Sam Weller has brought fine salient existential quandaries of Life As We Know It—far more than just writerly queries—to one of the last and most vital Oracles that not only still walks among us, but who has never stopped Thinking Big and Wise and Portentously. Listen to these echoes closely, absolutely. You will grow on account of it.”
—Bill Zehme, author of Lost in the Funhouse: The Life and Mind of Andy Kaufman
PRAISE FOR SAM WELLER'S THE BRADBURY CHRONICLES
“For Bradbury fans, The Bradbury Chronicles is essential... [A]n engaging, often fascinating tale.”
—New York Times Book Review
“[I]f The Bradbury Chronicles is exhaustive, it is never exhausting, and each anecdote adds light and color to the portrait [Weller] has painted of a writer of real accomplishment.”
—Los Angeles Times
