| Summary: | Deep Ends 2021 is the eighth book in the ongoing series Ballardian anthologies from The Terminal Press. This edition features David Pringle's ongoing JG Ballard chronology, this time a 70,000 word examination of Ballard's early life, 1930 to 1955. Fans of speculative fiction will enjoy contributions by Paul A. Green, who examines an England rocked by earthquakes; Maxim Jakubowski wonders what would happen on a cruise liner full of attendees for a Ballard conference; Dennis Bolen examines one way to get rid of a dead body; Lawrence Russell offers up three monologues on the human condition; JF Lawrence looks into the future of society, and Audrey Szasz amuses and amazes with her tips on avoiding a nuclear death. Readers interested in Ballardian art will be well rewarded with stunning visuals from Nicolas Descottes, David Manley, Declan Lloyd, Andrew C. Wenaus, and Matthew Richardson. Literary analysis is also well represented, featuring Rob Latham, who looks back at the visual culture of New wave SF; Rick Poynor travels to the south of France to look at the architecture of Super-Cannes; Declan Lloyd examines the art of The Atrocity Exhibition, Suzaan Boettger looks at the overlap twixt artist Robert Smithson and SF, and Jeremy Reed takes a bold look at the homoerotic relationship between Ballard and Vaughan in Crash. |
