JG Ballard - "Concrete Island"

The words "future modern classic" is often misused and so I will not use them, when describing the work of the bold Ballard. The main characters thought line - while in an impossible situation of being marooned without hope of help in a big city environment - pierce the barriers of your mind and bring you to the level of an infant in contemporary civilization. Each page is turned with a mix of reverence and contempt. A respectable piece of work, indeed.
