Synopsis

A journalist bearing terrible news leaps from a still-moving train into a small town of wonderful, impossible secrets . . . The doomed crew of a starship follows their blind, mad captain on a quest into deepest space to joust with destiny, eternity, and God Himself . . . Now and Forever is a bold new work from an incomparable artist whose stories have reshaped America's literary landscape. Two bewitching novellas—each distinctly different, yet uniquely Bradbury—demonstrate the breathtaking range of his undimmed talent and the irrepressible vitality of the mind, spirit, and heart of America's preeminent storyteller.

Goodreads review by Esma on March 06, 2017

Kitabın içinde iki kısa roman yer alıyor. Yazar her zamanki gibi bilim kurgu türünde yazmayı tercih etmiş. İlk kısa-roman, uzayda ve 2099 yıllarında geçiyor.
