Kingdom Come


Consumerism! Going postal! Racist jingoistic attitudes in suburbia! What more?

An advertising executive discovers that his father has been shot to death in a mega-mall in suburbia. He endeavours to fathom the reasons. Ballard is revisiting the familiar territory in that of unexplained sudden massacres.

The new work by J.G. Ballard. I just picked this up at Borders last night.
