He grew up in the suburbs of Los Angeles and wrote The Martian Chronicles in 1950, which describes the first attempts of Earth people to conquer and colonize Mars, and the unintended consequences. Born in Waukegan IL in 1920, Bradbury died at the age of 91.
The Wonderful Ice Cream Suit written in 1972 tells the story of 5 young men who invest together in a beautiful suit, as pure and white as vanilla ice cream. Since none of them can afford it on their own, they all pool their money and vow to share it, each of them getting a brief moment of glory wearing the suit. Each suit wearer has a designated time to strut out on the town and become a ladies magnet or a chance to briefly live out whatever realization of his personal dream fantasy he might envision.
