“Tedium has a new definition in my books. Or rather, in one book. If anybody should ever wish to be anesthetized to pornography, they could proabably do no better than read Ballard's Crash. Doubtless an example of a great writer accutely manipulating his prose, the resultant effect is far from pyrotechnic. Monotony seems the name of the game in this book about shagging and car crashes. Any ulterior attempt to draw attention to the shortcomings of the post-modern world in which we live, is desperately drowned in this monochrome work.”
