In EMPIRE OF THE SUN J G Ballard has
produced a mesmerizing, hypnotically compelling novel of war, of starvation and
survival, of internment camps and death marches, which blends searing honesty
with an almost hallucinatory vision of a world thrown utterly out of joint. It
is a novel which shatters the myths of the Second World War in Asia- and which
immediately takes its place as a classic work of modern literature. Rooted as
it is in the author’s own disturbing experience of war in our time, it is one
of that small and select group of novels by which the Twentieth Century will be
not only remembered but judged.
