The Drought in the Bookshop

The Drought by J G Ballard

"I believe in the power of the imagination to remake the world, to release the truth within us, to hold back the night, to transcend death, to charm motorways, to ingratiate ourselves with birds, to enlist the confidences of madmen." - J.G. Ballard

 

Reading in the Dark in the Bookshop

"Wearing glasses for reading meant surrendering to old age without the least bit of a fight." - Andrea Camilleri
