Bookseller recommendation
“This book consists of two novellas: Somewhere a Band is Playing & Leviathan ‘99. As usual Bradbury delivers great stories and wonderful storytelling. You really can’t go wrong with Bradbury. The first novella is about a town filled with immortal writers who try to remain undetected by the world at large, living a simple and peaceful existence until an outsider brings them the news that the town will be bulldozed to build a new highway. As with a lot of Bradbury’s work the story is nostalgic for a rapidly disappearing past. The second novella, Leviathan ’99, is essentially a science fiction retelling of Moby Dick. Instead of the ocean the story is set in space and the whale is replaced with the largest comet ever discovered. Both are highly enjoyable tales and I recommend them along with the rest of Bradbury’s catalog.”

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.
In a career spanning more than seventy years, Ray Bradbury inspired generations of readers to dream, think, and create. A prolific author of hundreds of short stories and close to fifty books, as well as numerous poems, essays, operas, plays, and screenplays, Bradbury was one of the most celebrated writers of our time. His groundbreaking works include Fahrenheit 451, The Martian Chronicles, The Illustrated Man, Dandelion Wine, and Something Wicked This Way Comes. An Emmy Award winner for his teleplay The Halloween Tree and an Academy Award nominee, he was the recipient of the 2000 National Book Foundation Medal for Distinguished Contribution to American Letters, the 2004 National Medal of Arts, and the 2007 Pulitzer Prize Special Citation, among many honors.
