A writer of enormous inventive powers, Ballard has, like Calvino, a remarkable gift for filing the empty, deprived spaces of modern life with invisible cities and the wonder worlds of the imagination
Malcolm Bradbury, New York Times Book Review
Ballard is a magician and a literary saboteur...He is one of the few genuine surrealists this country has produced, the possessor of a terrifying and exhilarating imagination – and a national treasure
Guardian
One of the brightest stars in post-war fiction
Kingsley Amis
One of the grand magicians of modern fiction
Brian Aldiss
Pure, weird pleasure
Los Angeles Times
Ballard's best and most characteristic work is in his early novels and short stories
New Statesman
The most significant English novelist of the second half of the 20th century
Will Self, Prospect
