Synopsis

gollancz hb/dj,1987 1st edition

Review

‘Classic Ballard. Mesmerising. No one writes with such haunting impact’ William Boyd

‘A unique writer with a distinctive vision unmatched by any other living novelist. In The Day of Creation Ballard is at the height of his powers ... triumphant’ New Statesman

‘An exciting plot unfolded with a master’s cunning. Ballard has brought off something rare in this fine book. He has written an adventure story that constantly surprises and excites’ Guardian

‘Absolutely vintage Ballard ... Compulsively absorbing: the white heat of its images seems to burn off the page, and the surreal landscapes linger on in the mind’ Independent

‘It could only have been imagined by a master of visionary realism ... a country of the mind as vivid and viable as anything this extraordinary writer has ever produced’ Spectator

‘The terrifying thing about Ballard is his logic; is this science fiction or history written ahead of its time?’ Len Deighton
