Guardian Bookshop Notes:

The extraordinary autobiography of the acclaimed writer, this opens and closes in Shanghai, where Ballard spend most of WWII interned with his family in a Japanese concentration camp. He recounts the experiences which would fundamentally shape his writing, and provides a striking social analysis of post-war Britain. A huge serial deal is expected, and there will be review coverage across the board. From the author of "Empire Of The Sun" and the controversial "Crash". Much of Ballard's backlist are also reissued this month with new jackets.
