Reviews

‘Autobiography taken to the highest reaches of fiction, another wonderful novel of scorching power’ Observer
‘The most modern of writers; his art engages with the artefacts and obsessions of the second half of this century in a manner and with an intensity unmatched by any other writer I can think of’ William Boyd
‘Quite as extraordinary an achievement as “Empire of the Sun” … A dazzling construction, a sequence of chapters almost every one of which is a tour de force in its own right’ Guardian
‘Compulsively readable … unbearably moving’ Financial Times
‘Brilliant … Ballard at his best’ Independent on Sunday
‘The terrifying thing about Ballard is his logic; is this science fiction or history written ahead of its time?’ Len Deighton
