‘“Kingdom Come” is important, germaine, timely and creepy, a tidal wrack of ideas washed up on the artificial beach of our resort culture.’ Will Self
‘As outré as ever, and still as keen to understand the national psyche ... Ballard retains a clear-sighted, almost vatic quality’ Spectator
‘As fertile as ever ... “Kingdom Come” is impressively packed with brilliant apercus’ Observer
‘Ballard’s vision is scary and utterly real ... compelling’ Financial Times

Descripción Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. A masterpiece of fiction from J. G. Ballard, which asks could Consumerism turn into Facism? A gunman opens fire in a shopping mall. Not a terrorist, apparently, but a madman with a rifle. Or not, as he is mysteriously (and quickly) set free without charge.One of the victims is the father of Richard Pearson, unemployed advertising executive and life-long rebel. Now he is driving out to Brooklands, the apparently peaceful town on the M25 which has at its heart the shining shoppers paradise where the shooting happened the Metro-Centre. Richard, determined to unravel the mystery, starts to believe that something deeply sinister lurks behind the pristine facades of the labyrinthine mall, its 24-hour cable TV and sports club.In this, his final novel, Ballard holds up a mirror to Middle England, reflecting an unsettling image of suburbia and revealing the darker forces at work beneath the gloss of consumerism and flag-waving patriotism.This edition is part of a new commemorative series of Ballards works, featuring introductions from a number of his admirers (including Ned Beauman, Ali Smith, Neil Gaiman and Martin Amis) and brand-new cover designs. With a new introduction by Deborah Levy and a striking new cover design by the artist Stanley Donwood, Ballards final novel sees consumerism evolve into something even more sinister.
