When the ATROCITY EXHIBITION was originally printed (1970),
Nelson Doubleday saw a copy and was so horrified he ordered the entire press
run shredded. Two years later Grove Press brought out a small hardback printing
re-titled Love and Napalm: Export USA. Now RE/Search brings out an
illustrated, large-format edition of this notorious work, augmented with four
recently written stories, plus extensive annotations--written by the author,
never before published--which clarify and illuminate this exhilarating,
prophetic masterpiece.
J.G. Ballard: Born in Shanghai November 15, 1930, James Graham Ballard
spent the first 15 years of his life in China. Interned in a Japanese camp
during World War II, he was repatriated to England at the age of sixteen. After
studying medicine at Cambridge, he sold his first "speculative fiction" story
to New Worlds in 1956 and began writing a series of planetary disaster
novels, ultimately focusing on the inner landscape in psychopathological
classics such as Crash and High-Rise. In 1987 Steven Spielberg
made a movie of his best-selling autobiographical work, Empire of the Sun.
For the past 30 years J.G. Ballard has lived in Shepperton, England, home of
the famous film studios. {J.G. Ballard died April 19, 2009 in London, U.K.]
