A User's Guide To The Millennium: Essays And Reviews
Collected for the first time, these are the nonfiction writings of one of this century's most important voices. Among Ballard's subjects are Dali and de Sade, Marilyn Monroe and Nancy Reagan, atom bombs and highways, sex and science fiction. The pieces - more than ninety in all, written between 1963 and 1995 - exhibit the same sharp vision and sharper prose that has distinguished all of Ballard's fiction. His fascination for and fixation upon this century take him from William Burroughs to Elvis Presley, and through his eyes we see our times more clearly and more pointedly.
