"James Graham Ballard (15 November 1930 19 April 2009…) was an English novelist, short story writer, satirist, and essayist who first became associated with the New Wave of science fiction for his post-apocalyptic novels such as The Drowned World (1962). In the late 1960s, he produced a variety of experimental short stories (or "condensed novels") , such as those collected in the controversial The Atrocity Exhibition (1970). In the mid 1970s, Ballard published several novels, among them the highly controversial Crash (1973) , a story about symphorophilia and car crash fetishism, and High-Rise (1975) , a depiction of a luxury apartment building's descent into violent chaos.

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Good. 1st Edition. A well‑preserved first UK hardback edition of 'The Day of Creation', one of J. G. Ballard's most enthralling and surreal novels, published in 1987 by Victor Gollancz Ltd. In this visionary work, Ballard follows Dr. John Mallory, a World Health Organizatio…n doctor in war‑torn Central Africa, whose desperate dream to bring water back to a drought‑ravaged land propels him into an obsessive journey up the newly formed river he has inadvertently created. Blending psychological depth with ecological myth and existential unrest, 'The Day of Creation' is a standout in Ballard's late‑20th‑century canon - a gripping narrative that continues to captivate fans of literary speculative fiction and critics alike. Condition Notes: Book is in Very Good condition: clean, bright pages with light toning, and a firm, square binding. Appears lightly read. Dust jacket in Good condition: shows rubbing, edge wear, and a small area of loss/tear to the lower rear corner, along with general handling wear.
