J.G. Ballard was one of England's most significant writers. Beginning with the events that inspired his classic novel, Empire of the Sun, in the revelatory autobiography he charts the course of his astonishing life.
Miracles of Life takes us from the vibrant surroundings of pre-war Shanghai, to the deprivations and unexpected freedoms of Lunghua Camp, to Ballard's arrival in a devastated Britain. Ballard recounts his first attempts at fiction and his part in the social and artistic revolutions of the 60's. He describes his friendship with figures as diverse as Kingsley Amis, Michael Moorcock, and Eduardo Paolozzi alongside recollections of his domestic life in Shepperton - raising three children as a single father following he unexpected and premature death of his wife.About the Author:
