An innovative volume of interdisciplinary essays on the significant
British writer J. G. Ballard (1930-2009), exploring the physical,
cultural and intertextual landscapes in several key novels with a
central focus on The Atrocity Exhibition (1970), one of the most
challenging texts in contemporary literature. Contributors include
established critics of Ballard alongside newcomers. Different
spatial concepts underpin the essays, from the landscapes of
Ballard's youth in Shanghai and his life in suburban London, to
nuclear testing spaces and outer space exploration. Figurative
locations typical of Ballard's work are explored, including the
beach, the motorway, the high-rise and the shopping mall. Textual
spaces are explored through Ballard's affiliation with modernist
literary forms, including surrealist prose writing and collage, and
poetic romanticism.
