I need to read that one. I am a pretty big David Cronenberg fan so any comparison to Shivers interests me. And obviously there are plenty of similarities between Cronenberg and Ballard I think. Not least the fact that Cronenberg obviously adapted Crash (which I still haven't read)
Alas, my local library is pretty lame when it comes to their selection of JG Ballard stuff.
