Paperback. Condition: Good. A startling and at times unsettlingly prescient collection of J. G. Ballards greatest interviews. J.G. Ballard was a literary giant. Best known for his controversial bestseller Crash and the memoir Empire of the Sun, he was a writer of unique talent always surprising, frequently prescient. Such acuity was not exclusive to his novels and, as this book reminds us, Ballards restive intelligence sharpened itself in dialogue.

Some of these observations earned Ballard an oracular reputation, and continue to yield an uncannily accurate commentary today. Extreme Metaphors collects the finest interviews of his career. Conversations with Will Self, Jon Savage, Iain Sinclair and John Gray, and collaborators like David Cronenberg, are a reminder of his wit and humanity, testament to Ballards profound worldliness as much as his otherworldly imagination. This collection is an indispensable tribute to one of recent historys most original thinkers. The book has been read but remains in clean condition. All pages are intact and the cover is intact. Some minor wear to the spine. …

paperback. Condition: Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.…
