Mike Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 As the title suggests... I've read quite a lot of Ballard and it could be argued he does go over the same themes, but he was a cracking writer all the same. I always take at least one Ballard on holiday with me. I never get bored of modern society breaking down to primeval beings For the uninitiated, try Super-Cannes, Cocaine Nights or High Rise. Oh, and he wrote Crash, which David Cronenberg made into a fairly 'controversial' film, and Empire of the Sun, which Speilberg worked his magic on. A fine British writer.

Class One Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 A fine writer indeed and will be missed. Empire of the Sun is one of my all time favourite stories. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
