The Drowned World

by J. G. Ballard - Fiction, Futuristic, Post-Apocalyptic Fiction

This early novel by the author of CRASH and EMPIRE OF THE SUN is at once a fast paced narrative, a stunning evocation of a flooded, tropical London of the near future and a speculative foray into the workings of the unconscious mind.
