For the first time in one volume, a complete collection of acclaimed short stories by the author of Empire of the Sun, Crash, Cocaine Nights and Super-Cannes, regarded by many as Britain's No 1 living fiction writer.
For four decades, J.G. Ballard has been one of Britain's most celebrated novelists. From the beginning he has been equally admired for his distinctive and highly influential short stories, the first of which - 'Prima Belladonna' and 'Escapement' - appeared in Science Fantasy and New Worlds in 1956. Now, all of his published stories - including four not previously featured in a collection - have been arranged in the order of original publication, providing an unprecedented opportunity to review the career of one of Britain's greatest writers.
