Vermilion Sands Zusammenfassung

Vermilion Sands J G Ballard

A FUTURISTIC COVER - COMES WITH 3D GLASSES!

Welcome to Vermilion Sands, the fully automated desert-resort ready to fulfil your most exotic whims. Home to the idle rich it now languishes in uneasy decay, populated only by forgotten movie queens, solitary impresarios and the remittance men of the artistic and literary world. Discover prima donna plants programmed to sing operatic arias, dial-a-poem computers and psychosensitive houses capable of murder. These quintessentially Ballardian short stories of dystopian modernity are Ballard's 'guess at what the future will actually be like'.

Vermilion Sands Bewertungen

Pure, weird pleasure * Los Angeles Times *
Ballard's best and most characteristic work is in his early novels and short stories * New Statesman *
The most significant English novelist of the second half of the 20th century -- Will Self * Prospect *
A writer of enormous inventive powers, Ballard has, like Calvino, a remarkable gift for filing the empty, deprived spaces of modern life with invisible cities and the wonder worlds of the imagination -- Malcolm Bradbury * New York Times Book Review *
Ballard is a magician and a literary saboteur...He is one of the few genuine surrealists this country has produced, the possessor of a terrifying and exhilarating imagination - and a national treasure * Guardian *
