Find out about J.G. Ballard’s biographical details.
Think about the way the story is composed. It is assembled from a lot of different documents and sources. What is the effect of this? Can you make an analogy with any other literary works?
Comment on the landscapes of the story. What are they like? Are they just ‘backgrounds’ or do they have another function within the narrative?
Focus on ‘distance markers’ and techniques of estrangement. How is this story different to realist fiction? Which passages or ideas do you find difficult to understand?
