RIP James Graham Ballard

by Frau_Blucher » Mon Apr 20, 2009 2:26 am

Died yesterday.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/entertainment/8007331.stm

DID know: that he was an inspiration to many new wave artists, including Joy Division and obviously The Normal, especially regarding the ideas of a dystopic future.

Did NOT know: that Empire of the Sun was a fictionalized autobiographical novel of his days in Japanese internment.

Seems like he led a full life. I'll not shed a tear (of petrol or otherwise).
