Ive read a bunch of Ballard years back and as I reread some of his works, I realize how prophetic he has become

Visited J G's grave a few months ago. Went to pay respects and seek council. I said 'the project will continue' as I toil over my own work and hope it can carry on the madness.

: The first time (and only time) I read this, TikTok and short-form video algorithms really didn't exist. If you wanted to see some messed up found footage, you had to step into places like LiveLeak - which is kinda like the Dark Web's waiting room, now that I really think about it. Fast-forward 15 years later and not only do we have those algorithms, war crimes of all sorts are being broadcasted freely there, whether you want to see it or not.

What an incredible author, man.

Someone I know who had a nervous breakdown told me this book felt exactly like that

Can you please read “A Confederacy of Dunces,” by JK Toole. I promise you won’t regret it.

Great book, but I read it when I was too young and dumb to know what I was reading, it just moved up on my TBR.

This was so well timed for me. I finished The Atrocity Exhibition last week and have been grappling with it. The reading experience was, as you also suggest, laborious for the most part. Distinct from conventional literary imagery, it felt more like a collection of images, rough sketches of half thoughts. Some of these were incredibly vivid and enjoyable, while others made me feel next to nothing. Reading this book was often a chore, but I’m glad I did so as its lingering place in my mind has been productive. Your review helped add context, so thank you

the 1990 RE/search publication is easily the definitive version of the atrocity exhibition. highly, highly recommended. 🎉

I love this book. The boredom is probably due to how clinically obsessive it is. There are God knows how many chunks that deal with the strange disconnected description of an obtuse angle and how it reminds him of someone's third toenail, or random circular musings on the alternate sex death of Rudyard Kipling etc. It can get a bit much.

Meh... it's post-modern masturbation. High Rise and Concrete Island are both vastly superior indictments of petite bourgeois bullshit.

Danny Brown had his album, Joy Division had theirs, but Ballard did it best beyond any doubt 🔥🖤 an incredible story collection of 'condensed novels' and unsettling SF imagery/speculation ...!
