Description
Cocaine Nights by J. G. Ballard is a disorienting and deranging novel that challenges the work of other avant-garde writers. In the exclusive Spanish resort of Estrella de Mar, a wealthy enclave for retired British citizens, a mysterious house fire claims the lives of five people. The club manager, Frank Prentice, pleads guilty to murder, but the police remain skeptical. As the investigation unfolds, a complex web of crime, drugs, and illicit sex is revealed behind the resort's civilized façade. This edition is part of a new commemorative series of Ballard's works, featuring introductions from notable admirers. The book is a stunningly original work that explores a society grappling with a life of almost unlimited leisure. With its engrossing mystery and novel of ideas, Cocaine Nights is a thought-provoking read that delves into the darker aspects of human nature. With its unique blend of crime, philosophy, and social commentary, Cocaine Nights is a compelling and unsettling read that will appeal to fans of literary fiction and mystery.
