stunning silence.
I'll salvage this comment (and the semi-smug post) with a request that you please, please, please read one book by Ballard (for it seems you have read none), and post a book review here.
Thanks for your comment. Can you recommend one? I promise to read it. Thank you.

Precisely, too many people just jump in to condemn writers like Wilde, Nobokov, Burroughs without reading a single page! Read "High Rise". Now I wonder why middle brow Americans are getting such good names all over the world and even their fellow Americans are showing disdain towards their fellow citizens.
By the way it is this blog which led me to yours:
