J.G. Ballard
J.G. BallardJ.G. Ballard was a fiction and non-fiction author. Born in Shanghai, China, in 1930, Ballard witnessed firsthand the bombing of Pearl Harbour during the second world war. The author, then a young boy, and his family stayed in a civilian prison camp before relocating to England in 1946. Ballard studied medicine in Cambridge for two years before turning into a copywriter. He later worked as a Covent Garden porter and moved to Canada, where he published his first short story in 1956. By the time he died, Ballard had over 100 books to his name. While Ballard’s writing is straightforward, his stories are unusual, which makes them stand out.
