The Crystal World
'Beautifully rendered Ballard the poet in full ecstatic blast.' Anthony Burgess  'Of all the unknown regions Ballard's imagination has opened up, this crystalline forest is the most haunting, with its golden orioles frozen in a lattice of jewels and men like conquistadores embalmed in diamond armour. The creation of the crystal world is something magical and not to be missed.' Guardian  'Brilliantly imagined, dark, brooding, convincing and powerful.' New Statesman  'By far his strongest and most individual novel.' Brian Aldiss--This text refers to theUnknown Bindingedition.
