Well, if The Atrocity Exhibition was too much in that regard, you should probably avoid Crash.
Contains what it says on the tin.

I had the ‘pleasure’ of reading The Atrocity Exhibition at my book club recently. My main takeaway is that Ballard ‘appreciated’ car crashes a bit too much.

It’s the ‘originality’ that gets me.

Surely originality is not high up on the list of traits you want someone burying a sheep to exhibit, most of the time you’d want them to bury the sheep as traditionally and predictably as possible.

Or as it’s properly known, “en route to Cornwall”.

Don’t think it’s a specific hobby of his or anything.
