J. G. Ballard: Visions and Revisions

Beschreibung

Providing an extensive reassessment of dominant and recurring themes in Ballard's writing, including historical violence, pornography, post 9/11 politics, and urban space, this book also engages with Ballard's 'late' modernism; his experimentation with style and form; and his sustained interests in psychology and psychopathology.

Rezensionen

'This volume makes a brilliant contribution to our understanding of the sheer range, originality and uniqueness of Ballard's talents. In doing so, it also opens up a fascinating range of hitherto underexplored intellectual and cultural contexts of the period 1960 to the present. This is a collection of the highest distinction.' - Professor Patricia Waugh, Department of English Studies, University of Durham, UK
