Rezensionen
'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

'Each of Ballard's 98 short stories is like a dream more perfectly realized than any of your own ... Simply a master story writer - the maker of unforgettable artefacts in words, each as absolute and perplexing as sculptures unviewable from a single perspective' Jonathan Lethem

'One of the most haunting, cogent and individual imaginations in contemporary literature' William Boyd
