A startling and at times unsettlingly prescient collection of J.G. Ballard´s greatest interviews. After a morning´s writing J.G. Ballard sometimes found himself with company. Latterly, friends and interviewers came to his Shepperton home, the same home from which Ballard had observed the rising suburban tide, and the advancing world he captured and second-guessed so successfully in his fiction. These thoughts were not exclusive to the page, though, as this book reminds us: Ballard had a restive, vigilant intelligence that overflowed naturally into conversation, and even sharpened itself in dialogue. He entertained his many admirers and interviewers with insights into the world as he saw it, and speculated, often correctly, about its future. As a result of those interviews he acquired a somewhat oracular reputation. Now, for the first time, Extreme Metaphors collects the finest interviews of Ballard´s career. It is not only a validation of those visionary and predictive instincts, proof of a remarkable, worldly sympathy, but a memorial to a celebrated thinker and great interviewee. It is a book for lovers of Ballard but also for lovers of this world.
