The death of J.G.Ballard

Just heard the news. Things like The Crystal World, The Drowned World, The Atrocity Exhibition, Crash, The Day of Creation, The Terminal Beach were incredibly good. His visions were surreal, obsessive, neurotic, fascinating, and his writing exposed the stuff in our heads as being far weirder than we might care for, so that the most bizarre was in fact recognisable and familar.

If you haven’t read him, do so. Like the advert says, he’s worth it.
