The Los Angeles Times “Jacket Copy” blog posted a salute to Ray Bradbury on his 89th birthday:

It’s hard not to think of Ray Bradbury as a true Angeleno: He’s lived here for a full three-quarters of a century. But in fact the author of “Fahrenheit 451,” “The Martian Chronicles” and “Something Wicked This Way Comes” was born in Illinois, 89 years ago today. Happy birthday, Mr. Bradbury!
