The Complete Stories of J. G. Ballard Paperback - 2010
by J. G. Ballard; Introduction by Martin Amis
With 92 enthralling and pulse-quickening stories spanning five decades, and featuring such classics as Prima Belladonna and The Index, Ballard's "Complete Stories" evokes Kafka and Borges with its ability to render psychosis, modern paranoia, and fantastical creations on the page.
From the rear cover
"More than one thousand compelling pages from one of the most haunting, cogent, and individual imaginations in contemporary literature."-William BoydNever before published in its entirety in America, with many stories new to American readers, The Complete Stories of J. G. Ballard is a monumental achievement by one of our greatest literary geniuses. Featuring such classics as "Prima Belladonna," "The Drowned Giant," and "The Assassination of John Fitzgerald Kennedy Considered as a Downhill Motor Race," the book evokes Poe and Kafka, Borges and Bradbury in its astonishing ability to render psychosis and modern paranoia in phantasmagorical detail on the printed page.Praise for J.G. Ballard: "Ballard will be remembered as the most original English writer of the last century . . . [and] as a one-man genre; no one else is remotely like him. . . . He was sui generis. What was influential, though, was the marvelous creaminess of his prose, and the weird and sudden expansions of his imagery."-Martin Amis, The Guardian"When I was a boy, I loved J. G. Ballard. And when I was a teenager, I loved J. G. Ballard. And as an adult, I loved J. G. Ballard."-Neil Gaiman"For anyone bored with the stale conventions of mainstream fiction, his 90-odd short stories of stilled time, desolate beauty and personal fulfillment in extreme situations will be sheer delight."-John Gray, The New Statesman"[W]ho would argue that ours is not a time of nihilism and that Ballard is not the ideal chronicler of our disturbed modernity?"-Jason Cowley, The Observer
