JG Ballard


JG Ballard has died.

One of the best authors I know, he wrote several books I like including two of my all time favourites; 'The Drowned World' and 'The Day of Creation'.

We also shared the same birthday.

...and "Empire of the Sun" which turned into a lovely film....

And the sequel 'The kindness of women', which sadly didn't turn into a film, though maybe now it will.

Eerily my wife is reading "The Crystal World" right now.
