Title: A few reasons why I like CRASH
Product review: Crash is first peice of writing that I have read by J.G. Ballard, and hopefully it won't be the last. I found the novel erotic, repulsive, and horrifying; yet at the same time, highly enlighting. This is probably due to the fact that Ballard, in my opinion, has an intoxicating style of writing that finds the deepest darkest place in his reader and stimulates it to surface. I found Ballards characters, emotionally depraved as they are, to be both complex, and compelling. Even more frightening is the fact that the car crash fetish is not just something out of Ballard's own imagination, people with this affliction do exist, and are much like the characters in his novel. It is a satisfying thing to be able to find an original peice of writing that completely undercuts your view of what is normal; and it is in this area that Ballard unquestionably succeeds
