I find it interesting that both of us thought of King while reading this book.

Bradbury seemed to create a different form, the mosaic novel. Look at The Martian Chronicles. Virtually nothing interconnected in character or organization, no particular flow of time, just a massive cluster of vignettes placed together to create prismatic whole. A very different form from the above. . .

Just my 2 cents worth. . .
Worth way more than 2c RSE! An interesting observation. It's time I re-read The Martian Chronicles, I remember almost nothing of them except the fact of having read them.
