Rushing to Paradise: A Novel - Softcover
"[A] chilling . . . tale about humans who gamely follow their own worst instincts.”―Chicago Tribune
Led by a charismatic and slightly unhinged woman, a group of environmentalists wrest control over a small South Pacific island in hopes of cultivating it into their own private Eden. But paradise is not quite what it seems in this “searing” (Kirkus Reviews) send-up of environmentalism, feminism, and extremism of all sorts."synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.

J.G. Ballard was born in Shanghai in 1930 and lived in England from 1946 until his death in London in 2009. He is the author of nineteen novels, including Empire of the Sun, The Drought, and Crash, with many of them made into major films.
Review:
"For over thirty years, Ballard has offered chilling, cautionary yet strangely exhilarating tales about humans who gamely follow their own worst instincts . . . A superb piece of storytelling, filled with supple turns and twists."—Michael" "Upchurch", Chicago Tribune"
"Searing, visceral tragicomedy of epic proportions . . . probably Ballard's best and most accessible yet."—"Kirkus Reviews"
"Hilariously cold-blooded satire."—Katherine Dunn, "The Washington Post Book World "
