    G. Ballard’s Surrealist Imagination: Spectacular Authorship. Farnham, UK: Ashgate, 2009.

    Argues that J. G. B.’s oeuvre, comparable in its radical vigor to the writings of De Sade and Bataille, constitutes a surrealist-inspired revision of post-WWII history and culture. The subtitle acknowledges, after Guy Debord, that J. G. B.

    views social reality as colonized by deceptive images. Many monochrome illustrations.
