Ballard first became associated with New Wave science fiction for post-apocalyptic novels such as "The Drowned World" (1962). He later courted controversy with the short-story collection "The Atrocity Exhibition" (1970), which includes the 1968 story "Why I Want to Fuck Ronald Reagan", and later the novel "Crash" (1973), a story about car-crash fetishists. From the distinct nature of the literary fiction of J. G. Ballard arose the adjective Ballardian, defined as: "resembling or suggestive of the conditions described in J. G. Ballard's novels and stories, especially dystopian modernity, bleak man-made landscapes, and the psychological effects of technological, social or environmental developments". The Oxford Dictionary of National Biography describes the novelist Ballard as preoccupied with "Eros, Thanatos, mass media and emergent technologies."' (Wiki) ***A near fine example of this excellent collection of short stories by J. G. Ballard. A very difficult book to find now in first edition, especially in such beautiful condition. ***For all our books, postage is charged at cost, allowing for packaging: any shipping rates indicated on ABE are an average only: we will reduce the P & P charge where appropriate - please contact us for postal rates for heavier books and sets etc.
