J.G. Ballard, 1930-2009


The Guardian has a comprehensive obituary on J.G. Ballard, who will be remembered by the public primarily for his semi-autobiographical novel, "Empire of the Sun" (screencap with Christian Bale as the author above). TYWKIWDBI remembers the delight of encountering Ballard's science fiction novels and short story collections in the 1960s.
