Now and Forever: Somewhere a Band Is Playing and Leviathan '99

Honored with a National Book Award for Distinguished Contribution to American Letters in 2000, a National Medal of Arts in 2004, and a Pulitzer Prize Special Citation in 2007, Ray Bradbury continues to present new work after 70 years. This is an omnibus of two previously unpublished novellas: «Somewhere a Band Is Playing» follows a writer drawn by his dreams to tiny Summerton, Arizona, a community hidden in plain view, where no small children play, and where the residents never seem to age; «Leviathan '99» is a futuristic adaptation of «Moby Dick» (Bradbury co-wrote the screenplay for John Huston's 1956 film version of Melville's book), in which fledgling astronaut Ishmael Hunnicut Jones boards the ship of a madman pursuing a planet-smashing comet.
