Une interview de Ray Bradbury (bis)

[jerome]

Voici la deuxième interview du jour de Ray Bradbury. Celle-ci a été faite par le Time.

Voici deux extraits :

"Fahrenheit 451 imagines a future in which books are banned and burned, and a group of people memorize them to carry them on. If you existed in the world of Fahrenheit 451, which book would you want to memorize?
Ray Bradbury : I would memorize a book of short stories by Edgar Allen Poe. 


You've said that there are worse crimes than burning books, one of them is not reading them. Why don't people read as much as they once did?
Ray Bradbury : Too many junky things around. There are too many computers, too many e-mails, and too many devices. They get in our way, and prevent us from reading. If we didn't have the computers and the e-mails, we could spend more time reading and writing.

You've won countless literary awards, which are you most proud of?
Ray Bradbury : I've been in love with Paris and France; I've visited Paris 42 times in 42 years. And a few years ago, the French Ambassador to America came to L.A. and brought a medallion and gave it to me as a gift from the French people. The medallion makes me a commander in the order of arts and letters. I'm now a commander of arts and letters for all of France. I think that's the greatest award that I ever got.
