J.G. Ballard

i read it like he recommended it: i opened it every now and again at a random section and went backwards and forwards from it
i enjoyed it, there's a lot of good stuff in there and it worked well

Honestly I would be screwed if I wasn't reading the annotated version where Ballard explains some of the paragraphs. I find it hard to follow since I'm pretty unfamilar with the 60s and 70s eras in general.

I keep asking what am I supposed to be getting from this. It just seems like some pop culture references mixed with violence and obscenity purely for the sake of it but not really offering a commentary on any of the real world events or characters it makes references to. Again, I'm only about a quarter way through the book and reading it in order

What is remarked on in this book is so removed from common experience, in such a shocking presentation, that it doesn't really need to be consciously contrasted, unless one is autistic.

There are only 2 worthwhile stories in this collection, the rest are just variations of those two. Have your wheat, then move on.

I've gotta read Super Cannes for a class, is it any good?
