Description - The Complete Short Stories by J. G. Ballard
The second in a two volume collection of short stories by the acclaimed author of ‘Empire of the Sun’, ‘Crash’ and ‘Super-Cannes’. The new edition is introduced by Adam Thirwell. ‘Will quite possibly be remembered as the most original English writer of the last century’ Martin Amis
For over four decades, J. G. Ballard was one of Britain’s most celebrated and original novelists. However, during his long career he was also a prolific writer of short stories, a form in which many argue he laid his firmest claim to greatness.
This, the second book in a two-volume collection, completes an unparalleled review of Ballard’s career. Following the original order of publication, its stories – many of them embryos for later novels – survey the full imaginative range of one of the twentieth century’s greatest writers.
This edition is part of a new commemorative series of Ballard’s works, featuring introductions from a number of his admirers (including Ali Smith, Iain Sinclair, Martin Amis and Ned Beauman) and brand-new cover designs from the artist Stanley Donwood.
