Description
Crash by J. G. Ballard is a shocking blend of violence, transgression and eroticism, reissued with an introduction from Zadie Smith. After being bombarded with road-safety propaganda, the author finds solace in an actual accident, which sets him on a path of fascination with the allure of violence. A charismatic figure with a dubious sense of morality, Dr Vaughan, leads him into a transgressive underworld of desire, where the collision of modernity and sex are pushed to extremes. In a society ruled by mass-media and technological advancements, the boundaries of humanity's obsessions are explored.
