My propensity for reading shorts has me diving through several collections, but one stands out; the new compilation of Ballard shorts is great. Finally re-packaged and published for the American market, this collection includes a couple that weren't included in the "complete" British edition. I missed out on purchasing a copy of that particular edition, and by the time I got to it the price was absorbent. It turned out a fortuitous over site, since this new edition is affordable and more complete (if such is possible). So, the recommendation for 'The Complete
Short Stories of J.G. Ballard" is a two thumbs up, five star thing...
