SRP 2010 REVIEW: This collects a number of Bradbury's short stories and novellas which relate to "Fahrenheit 451". Only two are directly tied to the novel, but all share the same theme - the destruction of literature, and more broadly the attempt of the state to control thought and belief. For example, the classic "Carnival of Madness" (often reprinted as "Usher II") is included, as well as "The Smile", both because they deal with the destruction of literature and art.
