Taking the Top Off His Skull: The Genesis of J.G. Ballard’s Crash


In the opinion of many, including its author, Crash can be considered J.G. Ballard’s finest work. A special hardback edition of the novel, Crash: the Collector’s Edition, is due for publication on 6 April 2017, edited by Chris Beckett, archivist for the Ballard papers at the British Library. In anticipation of Fourth Estate’s new edition, Mike Holliday takes a look at the development of the ideas that lay behind this, the most notorious of Ballard’s books.
