Newly reissued with an introduction from Neil Gaiman. On a day in April, just after three o'clock in the afternoon, Robert Maitland's car crashes over the concrete parapet of a high-speed highway onto the island below, where he is injured and, finally, trapped. What begins as an almost ludicrous predicament soon turns into horror as Maitland--a wickedly modern Robinson Crusoe--realizes that, despite evidence of other inhabitants, this doomed terrain has become a mirror of his own mind. Seeking the dark outer rim of the everyday, Ballard weaves private catastrophe into an intensely specular allegory.\"--\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Picador USA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49641551003875,"sku":"00000_00000_00000_00000","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0764\/3758\/6147\/files\/9781250171528-1.jpg?v=1788376053","url":"https:\/\/usa.kinokuniya.com\/products\/9781250171528","provider":"Books Kinokuniya USA","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
