J. G. Ballard. Super-Cannes. 2000. The maturation of a writer climbs like crazy beans the pole of an unnamable obsession, their proliferation demonstrating a hunger for ecstasy Insanely rational The accumulated wisdom of life lived and a staggering number of works of fiction is obvious This detective novel is soooooo good Perfect, the pacing, the section breaks, and the ending is a question mark that stings Even the cover art is chillingly appropriate With Crash, the story and underlying social critique were compelling and exquisitely wrought, but in the end still, for me, far-fetched; I am disturbed to report that this book, while equally sick, makes sense Read this urgently and figure out to save the world from it, convince me it's silly |
