Rezensionen

'Mordant and inventive, Ballard at his best' New Statesman

'It is futile to have expectations of Ballard: he will inevitably subvert them. All we know for certain is that the novels he will write could not be written, could not even be guessed at, by anyone else' Martin Amis, Observer

'Enter Mr Ballard's worlds and you become entranced in a séance difficult to break out of, so powerful is his method' The Times

'This is a very clever fiction, and - yes - another amazing improvisation on Ballard's basic theme' Guardian
