Rezensionen

'More than one thousand compelling pages from one of the most haunting, cogent and individual imaginations in contemporary literature' William Boyd

'A marvel ... there is something a little shaming in reading Ballard: you have to face the fact that there exist writers with such fresh imaginations they can't write five pages without stumbling on an alternate world' Zadie Smith

'Simply a master story writer - the maker of unforgettable artefacts in words' Jonathan Lethem

'Indispensable ... probably the most original English writer of the last century' China Miéville
