COCAINE NIGHTS
JG Ballard
The burning of a luxury villa on the English Costa del Sol, a murderess who suspect confesses to facilitate ', yielding five victims too. Cocaine Nights begins like a classic mystery, but it 's just a trompe l'oeil. Soon, in fact, the stakes become very high. The sunny residential villages where time seems to be abolished, and the only sound is that of committing Pitching solitaire players in tennis, in fact conceals a dark side. Drugs, homemade porn movie, vandalism and murder rituals are part of an unimaginable plot that, against appearances, it tends to undermine the so-called civilized life: if anything, this is the exact opposite.
master of ambiguity ', creator of negative utopias that overlap so disturbing to our present, JG Ballard has found the link between yellow and conte philosophique, anthropology essay and manual of guerrilla warfare. And with aplomb of a British gentleman, with a control style and a capacity 'to renew that's the envy of most contemporary writers, is able to demonstrate that literature, even today, can' be art socially dangerous.
