A review by baum
The Drowned World by J.G. Ballard, Martin Amis
3.0
more like a 3.5. a mashup of annihilation & heart of darkness (almost certainly inspired by the latter) - lush & hypnotic writing, but suffers from a lack of affective characters (which i guess isn’t really what he’s going for), and Concept alone cannot sustain a story
