Rezensionen

'Ballard is a magician of the contemporary scene and a literary saboteur. "Rushing to Paradise" is a Wellsian drama of extremity and isolation ... No one else writes with such enchanted clarity or strange power' Guardian

'Pure Ballard. I read it with rapt fascination ... Wonderful' William Boyd

'"Robinson Crusoe" in reverse. Teasing and sardonic ... Ballard at his best' Independent on Sunday
