J. G. Ballard & Me
It seems odd to quote my own blog post, but I never find the time to get all my different projects widgetized. I blog almost daily at Likely Stories and tweet almost hourly (well, it seems like it, anyway) on Twitter. So those are good places to check for more frequent updates, should you desire them. (The Designated Drinker site is under reconstruction; apparently the software I was running was too primitive to survive the latest php upgrades at Bluehost.) At any rate, here’s what I wrote yesterday, reflecting on the death of J. G. Ballard:
After paying some bills last night, I clicked “headlines” on my browser bar and saw that J. G. Ballard had died. There’s no shortage of news about this now, but as many of the obits seem to focus on his role as an influencer (see “Author J. G. Ballard dies after lengthy illness,” by Ben Hoyle, Times), I’ll add a few words about Ballard’s influence on me.
