On the Shanghai Express: JG Ballard's Journey

BBC Radio 4
on BBC Radio 4 FM

JG Ballard has charted the history of the present and the myths of the nearfuture. Considered by some to be Britain's number one living novelist, he has created a surreal landscape in which the world we inhabit is strikingly, and sometimes disturbingly, anticipated. Political writer and philosopher John Gray talks to Ballard about the themes that have inspired his work. Producer Gwyneth Williams
