S1 E13 - Simple Story Techniques - How to Craft A Sense of Place - Ray Bradbury's Fahrenheit 451

 

 This episode explores how Ray Bradbury's Fahrenheit 451 creates an effective sense of place by using sparing language in his story. Conjuring up a strong sense of place within a narrative is key to an author's ability to world-build. Without a sense of place, the reader will be left floundering as to where the story takes place or why the plot is important.
