Description

The Drowned World by J G Ballard

J.G. Ballard’s apocalyptic novel evokes a world both decaying and teeming with tropical life forms. Introduced by Will Self. This haunting tale of de-evolution amid the fetid swamps and submarine cities of a second Triassic Age is, as Will Self says in his introduction, the ‘pre-eminent’ example of J. G. Ballard’s early apocalyptic fiction. Published in 1962 and set in 2145, its potent evocation not just of a changed physical world, but of a collective human psyche ineluctably regressing, reflects Ballard’s later assertion that ‘each one of us is as old as the entire biological kingdom, and our bloodstreams are tributaries of the great sea of its total memory’.
