My favourite Ballard is The Atrocity Exhibition.

We've discussed Ballard before.
The kindness of women is one of the most beautiful books I've ever read.

Ballard's fiction was beautifully constructed, and highly complex.
Have you got the complete short stories? Fascinating to see him develop from the clumsy sci fi of his earliest work, through to stuff like Why I Want to Fuck Ronald Reagan, to the formal narratives of his late work.

I think I told you to buy the short stories.

I got the short stories years ago.
