A Modern Robinson Crusoe
BALLARD, J.G. Concrete Island. London: Jonathan Cape.1974
8vo. Original publishers cloth with gilt title lettering to spine and publishers imprint, Black and grey graphic design dust cover by Bill Botten, pp. [vi], 176, slight foxing to topedge, otherwise near fine.
First edition.
After a car crash, Robert Maitland finds himself victim to a whole new world existing beneath three interlinked motorways. With only the contents in the ruin of his car and his will to survive in this sprawling modern metropolis, his journey plays out like a perverse Robinson Crusoe. As noted in the blurb, "It is also an ironic and penetrating comment on the unexpected perils that await all of us as we drive across the concrete landscape of the late twentieth-century".
