Title: good grief
Product review: Ballard, a writer of surpassing skill, is attracted to the grotesque beauty of car crashes -- the pretzeled steel, the smoke, the fountains of coolant and blood. I do not share his tastes, but I envy his ability to make me understand, or at least begin to understand, why his twisted mind might appreciate this gruesomeness. The writing in this book is gorgeous in a terrifying way. I recommend the book with little reservation.
