Make sure you don’t miss the hour-long Archive on 4: Self on Ballard at 8pm this Saturday, September 26, on Radio 4, which has the enticing blurb: “Will Self explores the imagination and work of writer JG Ballard, who he came to know in his final years. Will draws on the many telling interviews that Ballard gave throughout his working life and on Self’s own tapes of his encounters with him. From his life of suburban anonymity, Ballard charted the realms of inner space and the madness of the modern world with a cool eye and visionary prose.”
You can listen to the programme again on the BBC’s iplayer.
