The Atrocity Exhibition Paperback / softback
by J. G. Ballard
Paperback / softback
Description
A prophetic and experimental masterpiece by J. G. Ballard, the acclaimed author of ‘Crash’ and ‘Super-Cannes’, featuring an introduction by Hari Kunzru. The human organism is an atrocity exhibition at which he is an unwilling spectator … As the protagonist spirals into the depths of a nervous breakdown, his dreams are haunted by images of John F.
Kennedy and Marilyn Monroe, astronauts and car-crash victims.
A kaleidoscopic scrapbook of mass culture, his mind fixates on the consumerism of the modern world – a hallucinatory obsession with celebrity, media, sex and violence.
With the media infiltrating every corner of our psyche, have the lines blurred between fiction and reality?
