It’s fiction although it takes place during 1924-1926 seven years after World War 1 and the characters in this story were actually real people who were Hemingway's friends (although after the book was released, they were not friends anymore!).

    Science fiction and personal experiences aren’t the most compatible of things, but Ray Bradbury is most influenced by his past. His plots can be traced to a certain time period or event in his life. Some critics also denounce that some of Bradbury's stories are poor examples of the genre of science fiction because they allude so much to American history in the 20th century, thus missing the extraterrestrial and futuristic aspects the readers expect to encounter. The most recurring influences were his childhood experiences, his small-American hometown in Illinois, and various literary works and their authors.…
