In his last article, Bradbury discussed his childhood affection for Edgar Rice Burroughs, and the inspiration it brought him: "I memorized all of 'John Carter' and 'Tarzan,' and sat on my grandparents’ front lawn repeating the stories to anyone who would sit and listen. I would go out to that lawn on summer nights and reach up to the red light of Mars and say, 'Take me home!' I yearned to fly away and land there in the strange dusts that blew over dead-sea bottoms toward the ancient cities."
I hope he got his wish.
