The Illuminated Man: Life, Death and the Worlds of J. G. Ballard
About this event
Join us at Argonaut Books in Toronto for an evening with Nina Allan to discuss her and her late partner Christopher Priest's new book, 'The Illuminated Man: Life, Death and the Worlds of J.G. Ballard.' The event will be chaired by Calum Barnes, a writer and bookseller. The book explores the life and themes of J. G. Ballard, including his turbulent history, his influence on science fiction, and the personal story behind the biography written by Christopher Priest and Nina Allan. The event provides an opportunity to delve into Ballard's extraordinary imagination, his impact on literature, and the personal connection between the authors.
