J. G. Ballard (Modern Masters of Science Fiction)
by D. Harlan Wilson
- New
University of Illinois Press. Hardcover. New. Hardcover. 208 pages. Prophetic short stories and apocalyptic novels like The Crystal World made J. G. Ballard a foundational figure in the British New Wave. Rejecting the science fiction of rockets and aliens, he explored an inner space of humanity informed by psychiatry and biology and shaped by Surrealism. Later in his career, Ballards combustible plots and violent imagery spurred controversy--even legal action--while his autobiographical 1984 war novel Empire of the Sun brought him fame. D. Harlan Wilson offers the first career-spanning analysis of an author who helped steer SF in new, if startling, directions. Here was a writer committed to moral ambiguity, one who drowned the world and erected a London high-rise doomed to descend into savagery--and coolly picked apart the characters trapped within each story. Wilson also examines Ballards methods, his influence on cyberpunk, and the ways his fiction operates within the sphere of our larger culture and within SF itself. This item ships from multiple locations. Your book may arrive from Roseburg,OR, La Vergne,TN.
