Based on J. G. Ballard’s own childhood, this is the extraordinary account of a boy’s life in Japanese-occupied wartime Shanghai – a mesmerising, hypnotically compelling novel of war, of starvation and survival, of internment camps and death marches. It blends searing honesty with an almost hallucinatory vision of a world thrown utterly out of joint. Rooted as it is in the author’s own disturbing experience of war in our time, it is one of a handful of novels by which the twentieth century will be not only remembered but judged. Size: 180mm - 250mm. 278 pages. Slight foxing front/rear pages, but body of book mostly clean and unfoxed. Edges have some foxing. Covers have some shelf-wear as well as some bumpig to corners and extremities. Quantity Available: 1. Shipped Weight: 1-2 kilos. Category: Fiction; ISBN: 0575034831. ISBN/EAN: 9780575034839. Inventory No: 52915.
