godspeed James Graham Ballard
Apr. 20th, 2009 11:06 amAuthor JG Ballard died Sunday morning.
What terrible news on a bright, sunny morning. James Graham Ballard is one of my favorite authors of the modern era. His terrible dystopias did not have heroes or reasons - they just were, implacable as the concrete islands or high rise buildings against the sky.
It must be strange to be comforted by such stories, but I was. I am.
One of my most treasured books is a first edition hardback of High Rise discovered ten years ago in Half Price Books.
