My favorite story of his is so non-sci-fi: Dandelion Wine. Every time I read it, it evokes a deep sense of nostalgia and yearning for good days of life.
And he's lived long enough to see some of his favorites themes being born out in a general sense, for better or worse.
Mostly worse.
Later in the interview, he says he is working on a rare sequel, one for Dandelion Wine.
I used to have a little personal tradition...starting on the first day of summer (or whenever kids got out of school, whichever came first) I would sit down and read a chapter of Dandelion Wine every day.
Goes nicely with the “Main Street USA” book of old Waukegan pictures. (There’s even a picture of the infamous bridge through the ravine!)
