Date: 2009-04-21 11:38 am (UTC)Somewhat more recently I was fascinated by Super-Cannes. I reviewed it somewhere--Blue Ear perhaps?--and at some point posted a copy of that review here: http://knol.google.com/k/chuck-gregory/book-review-super-cannes-by-j-g-ballard
There have indeed been too many deaths among writers from that era. I'll miss them all, Ballard most certainly not least.

Indeed. I wish we had a few more writers around today who were prepared to take the same sorts of risks he did.

Date: 2009-04-21 10:02 pm (UTC)Very much so. As I've just said to al_zorra, I wish we had a few more writers around today who were prepared to take the same sorts of risks he did.

Date: 2009-04-21 10:03 pm (UTC)I must have read that one too: I was reading New Worlds avidly in those years. And getting the nicest, most constructive and helpful rejection letters from Mike Moorcock et al. whenever I submitted!

I know what you mean: it's a genuine sorrow.

Date: 2009-04-21 10:09 pm (UTC)Your review's tantalized me! I must pick up a copy of Super-Cannes at some point.

Date: 2009-04-22 11:56 am (UTC)Oh, in that case I certainly read it, although I don't recall it particularly.
