{"product_id":"crash-a-novel","title":"Crash: A Novel","description":"The Definitive Cult, Postmodern Novel―a Shocking Blend of Violence, Transgression, and Eroticism\n\nReissued with a New Introduction from Zadie Smith\n\nWhen J. G. Ballard, our narrator, smashes his car into another and watches a man die in front of him, he finds himself drawn with increasing intensity to the mangled impacts of car crashes. Robert Vaughan, a former TV scientist turned nightmare angel of the expressway, has gathered around him a collection of alienated crash victims and experiments with a series of autoerotic atrocities, each more sinister than the last. But Vaughan craves the ultimate crash―a head-on collision of blood, semen, engine coolant, and iconic celebrity.\n\nFirst published in 1973, Crash remains one of the most shocking novels of the twentieth century and was made into an equally controversial film by David Cronenberg.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 1250171512\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.1250171512.A\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Acceptable\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Ballard, J.
