Ballard si muove su un confine sottil<strong>is</strong>simo nella m<strong>is</strong>ura in cui rigetta con dec<strong>is</strong>ione la sfera del<br />

postmoderno, all’interno della quale l’eterogeneità e la pol<strong>is</strong>emia potenzialmente illimitata paiono<br />

trovare la loro collocazione ideale, al tempo stesso incrociando di volta in volta i percorsi di<br />

provocatori eterodossi e geniali quali Jonathan Swift o Georges Bataille.<br />

of differentiated h<strong>is</strong>tories, multiple realities and heterogeneous temporalities, and which point towards a world of<br />

ep<strong>is</strong>temological uncertainty and endless fictional<strong>is</strong>ation. Autobiographical fiction <strong>is</strong> an unstable and unreliable form of<br />

narrative for Ballard and not at all the strong arm of authenticity which classic real<strong>is</strong>m claims it to be.» Jeannette<br />

Baxter, J. G. Ballard’s Surreal<strong>is</strong>t Imagination, op. cit., pp. 141-142.<br />
