J.G. Ballard, my favourite author and one of the most original and stylish post-war novelists/SF writers, has died at the age of 78 (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/2041260.stm).

RIP Jim.

I started Atrocity Exhibition again yesterday... there isn't another writer like him.

How sad. Empire of the Sun was an amazing novel, and a stunning film.
