What They're Saying
Critics Review
“In Ballard the dystopia is not hidden under anything. Nor is it (as with so many fictional dystopias) a vision of the future. It is not the subtext. It is the text….”―Zadie Smith, The New York Review of Books
“A work of very powerful originality. Ballard is among our finest writers of fiction.”―Anthony Burgess
“Crash sensationally and scintillatingly succeeds.”―Martin Amis
“The last great English avatar of the avant-garde.”―Will Self
