Ray Bradbury<\/p><\/div>\n

\n

Do you know why teachers use me? Because I speak in tongues. I write metaphors. Every one of my stories is a metaphor you can remember. The great religions are all metaphor. We appreciate things like Daniel and the lion\u2019s den, and the Tower of Babel. People remember these metaphors because they are so vivid you can\u2019t get free of them and that\u2019s what kids like in school. They read about rocket ships and encounters in space, tales of dinosaurs. All my life I\u2019ve been running through the fields and picking up bright objects. I turn one over and say, Yeah, there\u2019s a story.
\u2014Ray Bradbury, the Art of Fiction No. 203<\/a>, 2010<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Ray Bradbury would be ninety-four today\u2014for more on his Art of Fiction interview, be sure to read \u201cFact-checking Ray Bradbury<\/a>,\u201d by our own Stephen Andrew Hiltner. And for proof of Bradbury\u2019s metaphorical gifts, check out \u201cAll Summer in a Day<\/a>,\u201d a 1954 story published in the commonsensically named The Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction<\/em>. It\u2019s conceptually unforgettable and, among the stories of his I\u2019ve read, uniquely haunting.<\/p>\n

\u201cAll Summer\u201d takes place in a school on Venus, or rather, the Venus of the future\u2014humans have colonized the planet. Problem is, Venus is rainy. All the time. \u201cA thousand forests had been crushed under the rain and grown up a thousand times to be crushed again.\u201d The sun shines for only two hours (consecutive, fortunately) every seven years. And in this drenched Venusian schoolhouse, where all the descendants of the rocket men and women presumably suffer from constant Seasonal Affective Disorder and severe vitamin D deficiencies, there\u2019s one girl, Margot, who remembers the glories of sunshine: <\/p>\n

\n

The biggest crime of all was that she had come here only five years ago from Earth, and she remembered the sun and the way the sun was and the sky was when she was four in Ohio. And they, they had been on Venus all their lives, and they had been only two years old when last the sun came out and had long since forgotten the color and heat of it and the way it really was.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Today, it so happens, is the day the sun will come out, and Margot is looking forward to it more than anyone. But when the teacher\u2019s out, her classmates lock her in a closet, and as the rain begins to cease they forget all about her:<\/p>\n

\n

It was as if, in the midst of a film concerning an avalanche, a tornado, a hurricane, a volcanic eruption, something had, first, gone wrong with the sound apparatus, thus muffling and finally cutting off all noise, all of the blasts and repercussions and thunders, and then, second, ripped the film from the projector and inserted in its place a beautiful tropical slide which did not move or tremor. The world ground to a standstill. The silence was so immense and unbelievable that you felt your ears had been stuffed or you had lost your hearing altogether. The children put their hands to their ears. They stood apart. The door slid back and the smell of the silent, waiting world came in to them. The sun came out. It was the color of flaming bronze and it was very large. And the sky around it was a blazing blue tile color. And the jungle burned with sunlight as the children, released from their spell, rushed out, yelling into the springtime.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Margot isn\u2019t among them, of course, and only later, after the rain has started again, do her ebullient classmates remember that they\u2019ve trapped her in the closet. They let her out: the end.<\/p>\n

As a parable about senseless cruelty, it sticks in the mind whether the mind wants it there or not. Junot D\u00edaz referenced \u201cAll Summer\u201d in The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao<\/em>: \u201cSucks a lot to be left out of adolescence, sort of like getting locked in the closet on Venus when the sun appears for the first time in 100 years.\u201d (You could argue that it influenced R. Kelly, too<\/a>, though you\u2019d have your work cut out for you.)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
