THE ATROCITY EXHIBITION

Παρουσίαση

When The Atrocity Exhibition was published in 1970 it went on to become a cult book and is now seen as one of JG Ballard's key works. It features many of the obsessions that recur in his later books such as Empire of the Sun, High-Rise and Super-Cannes, as well as the seed of his most controversial work, Crash. In this revised edition, Ballard has added extensive annotations that help to unlock many of the mysteries of one of the most prothetic, enigmatic and original works of fiction of the late twentieth century.
