FOOD FOR THOUGHT - SAM WELLER: THE BRADBURY CHRONICLES 12-1PM
In conjunction with The Big Read AZ, whose current selection is Ray Bradbury’s Fahrenheit
451, we’re proud to present Bradbury’s biographer, Sam Weller, with his new book The
Bradbury Chronicles: The Life of Ray Bradbury. Weller’s portrait captures the
contradictions of the visionary writer who envisioned rocket travel to outer space but never
learned to drive a car or operate a computer. Weller is a journalist and professor at Columbia
College, Chicago, where he teaches a class on Bradbury’s life and work.
$5.50 bag lunches available next door at Wildflower Bread Company. Call 480.838.9773 and
ask for the “Food for Thought” special!
Start: 6:00 pm
COMMUNITY MOVIE NIGHT: SICKO 6PM

several merchants here in the Tempe Square shopping center: Baskin Robbins, Wildflower Bread Company, Mac’s Broiler & Tap, Hoodlums, and Changing Hands Bookstore.
