To avoid duplication, the aim of this review is to read the book as it sheds light on the nearly thirty years of Ballard’s science fiction novels and short stories which preceded it.Įmpire of the Sun gave the game away.
And, as a result, there are thousands of scholarly essays, as well as Brodie’s Notes and Wikipedia articles about Empire of the Sun, giving you the book’s plot and a standard account of its ‘themes’. Cultural success doesn’t come much bigger than that.
Ballard’s best known and most accessible book and was, of course, made into a major motion picture by Steven Spielberg.
