<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>A remarkable piece of invention, a flight from the world of the familiar and the real into the exotic universe of dream and desire. --<em>New York Times Book Review</em><p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>When a light aircraft crashes into the Thames at Shepperton, the young pilot who struggles to the surface minutes later seems to have come back from the dead. Within hours everything in the dormitory suburb is transformed. Vultures invade rooftops, luxuriant tropical vegetation overruns the quiet avenues, and the local inhabitants are propelled by the young man's urgent visions through ecstatic sexual celebrations toward an apocalyptic climax. In this characteristically inventive novel Ballard displays to devastating effect the extraordinary imagination that has established him as one of the twentieth century's most visionary writers.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><em>The Unlimited Dream Company</em>...is in many ways Ballard's forgotten masterpiece, the apotheosis of his hallucinatory, perversion-binging '70s.-- "AV Club"<br><br>Ballard is one of the few genuine surrealists in business...At its most heightened, Ballard's prose is an impacted mass of images, dense and iridescent as mercury, stranger, you might say, than fiction.-- "Guardian"<br><br>Extraordinary...Far beyond the scope of most novelists.-- "Spectator"<br>
