The definitive cult, post-modern novel - a shocking blend of
violence, transgression and eroticism - reissued with a new
introduction from Zadie Smith. When Ballard, our narrator, smashes
his car into another and watches a man die in front of him, he
finds himself drawn with increasing intensity to the mangled
impacts of car crashes. Robert Vaughan, a former TV scientist
turned nightmare angel of the expressway, has gathered around him a
collection of alienated crash victims and experiments with a series
of auto-erotic atrocities, each more sinister than the last. But
Vaughan craves the ultimate crash - a head-on collision of blood,
semen, engine coolant and iconic celebrity. First published in 1973
'Crash' remains one of the most shocking novels of the twentieth
century and was made into an equally controversial film by David
Cronenberg. This edition is part of a new commemorative series of
Ballard's works, featuring introductions from a number of his
admirers (including Robert Macfarlane, Martin Amis, James Lever and
Ali Smith) and brand-new cover designs from the artist Stanley
Donwood.
