Details
Synopsis
In this highly autobiographical novel, the protagonist, a boy named Jim, is interred in a Japanese prisoner-of-war camp in China during World War II--separated from his parents, and forced to struggle for survival in an alien world. The story culminates in the dropping of the atomic bomb on Nagasaki.
Publisher's Notes
First Line: ""Wars came early to Shanghai, overtaking each other like the tides that raced up the Yangtze and returned to this gaudy city all the coffins cast adrift from the funeral pyres of the Chinese Bund.""
Industry Reviews
"Ballard's most perfect work....[and] one of the great novels of our time, with something of the brutal beauty found in the fiction of Cormac McCarthy."
