The Complete Short Stories by J. G. Ballard | Audiobook | Ballard" offers a perfect introduction to a visionary writer's work. The British writer is renowned as an imaginer of dystopian nightmares. And his powers of invention are downright extravagant. For those unfamiliar The Complete Stories of J. G. Ballard him, it offers one whopper of an introduction. Martin Amis, in his preface to the collection, sees Ballard as the unlikely offspring of Saki and Borges. Obsessions with time — stretched time, stopped time, shrinking time, preserved time — run through at least a quarter of his stories. With unerring instinct, he finds the ordinariness in the most preposterous scenarios, thus connecting them in detail and tone to our own reality. In a class all their own are the stories set in Vermilion Sands, a surreal variation on Palm Springs. A world of cloud sculptors, sonic statues and poetry machines is couched in prose that combines satire, languor and hallucination.
