Alas, my local library is pretty lame when it comes to their selection of JG Ballard stuff.

I went to the opening of
stars, deaths and disasters (Cronenberg's co-curated Warhol exhibit at the art gallery of ontario), to see him speak and I was a little disappointed. It was a really good exhibit, but he just slanted all the interpretations of non-death/disaster works to fit into his theme, which annoyed me a little.
