I always think of him as very young at heart,, maybe its an empire of the sun thing.

i am enjoying Crash.

Have you ever read any of his short stories? There are two large volumes (possibly three...) They're a bit hit and miss but are a great example of his incredible and varied imagination.

to just know jg ballard for Crash does not do justice for his work! Pay your respects you kids! He is up there with ray bradbury.

i likw Crash, so what.

no, definitely not.

oh, and i'm 40 so thanks for thinking me a kid.

Vermilion Sands is not hit or miss at all. The 1000 Dreams of StellaVista is an incredible work

I don't think he cared to be up anywhere with science fiction

I'm referring to a different set of short stories: The Complete Short Stories.
