Rushing to Paradise (Paperback) (ISBN: 9780006548140) Ballard, J. G. Quantity Available: 1
Book Description: HarperCollins Publishers, United Kingdom, 2001. Paperback. Book Condition: New. New edition. 197 x 130 mm. Brand New Book with Free Worldwide Delivery. J.G. Ballard -- author of 'Crash' and 'Empire of the Sun' -- explores the dangers of extremism in ecology and feminism in this highly acclaimed modern fable. Veteran campaigner Dr Barbara Rafferty's obsessive crusade to save the albatross on the Pacific atoll of Saint-Esprit suddenly gains international support when millions of TV viewers witness the shooting of her young acolyte Neil Dempsey on a foolhardy rescue mission. The coverage that results allows Dr Barbara to turn the deserted island into a sanctuary. It becomes a remote paradise home for Neil, an odd team of eco-enthusiasts and idealists and a growing collection of the world's endangered species, sent there to find protection from extinction. However, as Dr Barbara isolates the residents more and more from the world outside it becomes clear that all on the island is not right. As the men begin to sicken while the women flourish, Neil is forced to question why he remains healthy, and will this change when a new man arrives? Brilliantly unsettling in classic 'Ballardian' style, this is a novel in which all expectations are upset and all roles reversed.
