Empire of the Sun
2 journalers for this copy...
A novel of war, of starvation and survival, of internment camps and death marches, which blends honesty with a vision of a world thrown utterly out of joint. It is rooted in the author's own experience of war in our time. The novel won "The Guardian" Fiction Prize.
Got this one in my goodie bag at the UnConvention last week. Its one that I really want to read as it is so out of sorts with the Ballard stuff that I have previously read. I might even forgive the "Now a major Steven Spielberg Film" tag on the front cover ;-)
