J.G.BALLARD

"Highly acclaimed as a science fiction writer, J,G,Ballard far transcends that label. Ballard has delineated an updated mythology and philosophy coherent for our times, ranging from his investigation of the psychosexual significance of the car crash (in Crash) to the barbarism latent in a new condominium (High Rise). In this strikingly illustrated volume, encompassing interviews and a wealth of rare selections from every aspect of Ballard's career, introduce yourself to the advanced thinking of a major contemporary writer."
