J.G. Ballard Books in Order
J.G. Ballard is an acclaimed English novelist, short story writer, and essayist celebrated for his innovative and provocative contributions to science fiction. His early work is synonymous with the New Wave movement, characterized by apocalyptic and post-apocalyptic novels such as <i>The Drowned World</i> (1962), <i>The Burning World</i> (1964), and <i>The Crystal World</i> (1966). Ballard's eclectic style and thematic explorations, evident in short stories like <i>The Atrocity Exhibition</i> (1970), drew comparisons with postmodernist writers like William S. Burroughs. His 1973 novel <i>Crash</i> sparked controversy, delving into the world of car crash fetishism and symphorophilia. Ballard's semi-autobiographical war novel, <i>Empire of the Sun</i> (1984), a poignant account of a young boy's experiences in Shanghai during World War II, earned critical acclaim and was adapted into a 1987 film by Steven Spielberg. The Guardian hailed it as "The best British novel about the Second World War."
