I first read Ballard's work way back when. It was the sixties, I suppose, and I was a teenager who was lucky enough to get just about every selection and bonus selection from the Science Fiction Book Club. J.G. Ballard was not uncommonly featured, as I recall.
Thanks J.G.

There have indeed been too many deaths among writers from that era. I'll miss them all, Ballard most certainly not least.
