Fondly, Ray Bradbury. 2/9/90.” Together with a one-page autographed letter signed from Bradbury to Safire, also dated 2/9/90, written on Bradbury’s stationary, which reads, “Dear Bill: Thanks for your new book! Here’s mine! Will you do, or have you done and I missed it, an article on the confusion of liberal/conservative, left/right terms this winter in Europe? Krauthammer had one this week, one of the rare attempts to define terms, parties, beliefs. I await yours. We need you. I’ll be in Washington mid-April, lecturing at Johns Hopkins. Hope to call & see you. With admiration! Ray. 2/9/90.” A distinguished copy of Bradbury’s highly-regarded book on writing, substantially expanded from his similarly-titled Capra Press chapbook, here collecting nine essays on writing and the creative process. Inscribed to his friend and long-time correspondent William Safire; during their decades-long friendship and correspondence, Safire reviewed Bradbury’s Zen and the Art of Writing: Essays on Creativity for his New York Times column “On Language,” and frequently cited Bradbury’s work when discussing rules for good writing. A fine association, connecting two masters of the English language.
