"Bradford believes in the human comedy the way DiMaggio believes in baseball, the way Nureyev believes in the dance, the way people, no matter what, believe in laughing when they might just as well be weeping."
--Richard Condon, author of The Manchurian Candidate andPrizzi's Honor

Born in 1932, Richard Bradford has spent most of his adult life in New Mexico, a landscape to which he pays homage in both of his novels, Red Sky at Morning and So Far from Heaven. Before the 1968 publication of Red Sky at Morning-- which many reviewers favorably compared to such coming-of-age novels as The Catcher in the Rye and To Kill a Mockingbird--Bradford had worked as a technical writer, a promoter of tourism, and an environmental-impact analyst.
