Will Self on JG Ballard: BBC Radio 4 (Part Six)

Will Self explores the imagination and work of writer J G Ballard (author of Empire of the Sun and many other novels), whom he came to know in his final years. Will draws on the many telling interviews that Ballard gave throughout his working life and on Self's own tapes of his encounters with him. From his life of suburban anonymity, Ballard charted the realms of innerspace and the madness of the modern world with a cool eye and visionary prose.
