- J._G._Ballard abstract "James Graham \"J. G.\" Ballard (15 November 1930 – 19 April 2009) was an English novelist, short story writer, and essayist. He came to be associated with the New Wave of science fiction early in his career with apocalyptic (or post-apocalyptic) novels such as The Drowned World (1962), The Burning World (1964), and The Crystal World (1966). In the late 1960s and early 1970s Ballard focused on an eclectic variety of short stories (or \"condensed novels\") such as those found in The Atrocity Exhibition (1970), that drew comparison with the work of postmodernist writers such as William S. Burroughs. In 1973 the highly controversial novel Crash was published, a story about symphorophilia and car crash fetishism; the protagonist becomes sexually aroused by staging and participating in car crashes. The story was later adapted into a film of the same name by David Cronenberg.While much of Ballard's fiction is thematically and stylistically unusual, he is perhaps best known for his relatively conventional war novel, Empire of the Sun (1984), a semi-autobiographical account of a young British boy's experiences in Shanghai during the Second Sino-Japanese War as it came to be occupied by the Japanese Imperial Army. Described by The Guardian as \"the best British novel about the Second World War\", the story was adapted into a 1987 film by Steven Spielberg that starred a 12 year old Christian Bale as the young boy.The literary distinctiveness of Ballard's work has given rise to the adjective \"Ballardian\", defined by the Collins English Dictionary as \"resembling or suggestive of the conditions described in J. G. Ballard's novels and stories, especially dystopian modernity, bleak man-made landscapes and the psychological effects of technological, social or environmental developments\". The Oxford Dictionary of National Biography entry describes Ballard's work as being occupied with \"eros, thanatos, mass media and emergent technologies\".".
