Enigmatic. Anatomy, apocalypse, media, fiction as the new reality, desensitivity, devaluation, chasing catharsis, chasing car wrecks, sex as anatomy. I am somewhat intrigued but remain unenlightened as I approach the end of this summation to a career.

Clinical writing works magnificently on war and apocalypse but less so when he's depicting his successful single parent raising of three children.

My first Ballard. I saw Empire of the Sun years back, giving this sequel to the novel some context and the image of Christian Bale. Apocalypse is right there from the beginning of the book, described in uncanny detail in the real world wartime equivalent.
