Book Description: Grove Press, New York, 1972. hardcover. New York. 1972. Grove Press. 1st American Edition. Some Foxing To Sidce Edge,Otherwise Very Good In Dustjacket. 157 pages. hardcover. 0394482778. After five earlier books of fiction, which have won him the praise of Graham Greene, Anthony Burgess, and Kingsley Amis, J. G. Ballard, one of Britain?s most original authors, has now written a brilliantly inventive novel about the nature of violence and sex, which William S. Burroughs, in his preface, calls ?a profound and disquieting book? in which the ?nonsexual roots of sexuality are explored with a surgeon?s precision.? LOVE & NAPALM: EXPORT U.S.A. is an apocalyptic novel about the irrational violence of the modern world. The central character is a doctor who is suffering from a nervous breakdown. His dreams are haunted by the figures of John F. Kennedy and Marilyn Monroe, dead astronauts and auto-disaster victims, Trying to find his sanity, he casts himself in a number of different roles: H-bomber pilot, presidential assassin, car-crash victim, psychopath. He is obsessed with the deaths, among others, of Kennedy and Oswald, seeing them as models for his own self-destruction. Everything around him seems sterile and perverted, but with the magic of violence he at last finds the key to a new sexuality. For the hero, nightmare and reality overlap, and the story is seen through a number of lenses, sometimes with the harshness of a documentary filmed in a mental slaughterhouse, at other times with the calm and clinical detachment of a scientific report. Together they show a world controlled by advertising, pseudo-events, science, and pornography. Love & Napalm: Export U.S.A. is a unique and disturbing newsreel of our unconscious minds told in fifteen different sections whose titles alone suggest the author?s concerns: ?The University of Death,? ?Plan for the Assassination of Jacqueline Kennedy,? ?The Great American Nude,? and ?The Atrocity Exhibition.? Ballard?s visionary prose, while revealing influences of the fictions of Jorge Luis Borges and William S. Burroughs, remains highly personal, revealing a rare talent for black humor and the grotesquely serious. His novel can be read as a fiendishly perceptive indictment of contemporary American life as well as a poetic treatise on reality. It is a mature work from a significant writer. keywords: Literature England. inventory # 1136 Some Foxing To Sidce Edge,Otherwise Very Good In Dustjacket. Bookseller Inventory # 1136
