New Book about FAHRENHEIT 451 - table of contents

I've been commissioned to write a chapter for the forthcoming Salem Press volume about Bradbury's Fahrenheit 451.

The book, edited by Rafeeq McGiveron, is part of Salem's extensive Critical Insights series, which encompasses book-length studies of major authors and major novels. The books are a little bit pricey for the average reader, but are aimed primarily at colleges, schools and libraries.

The contents of the Fahrenheit 451 volume are still tentative, but Rafeeq is aiming to include chapters by the following scholars:

• Garyn Roberts
• Robin Anne Reid (author of Ray Bradbury: a Critical Companion)
• Rafeeq McGiveron
• Joseph M. Sommers
• Timothy E. Kelley
• Jonathan  R. Eller (co-author of Ray Bradbury: the Life of Fiction; author of Becoming Ray Bradbury)
• Anna McHugh
• Andrea Krafft
• Adam T. Bogar
• Aaron Barlow
• Phil Nichols
• Guido Laino
• Wolf Forrest
• Imola Bulgozdi

My chapter, titled "Classics Cut to Fit", will look at media adaptations of F451, with most attention going to Francois Truffaut's 1966 film version, and to Bradbury's own stage play adaptation.

The book is due for release (somewhat optimistically in my view, but we'll see!) in November. The publisher's official page is here, and more detail of the proposed chapter titles are on Rafeeq's personal website here.
