Highrise

Excellent Diane !!

Many thanks, Marj!

Superb surrealistic shot !!
Never read High Rise by Ballard : I read only his Empire of the Sun which was later turned into a movie by S.Spielberg.

So thanks to this image of yours I went and read a synopsis in the web... well, at the moment not for me at all ..in my next life maybe..:-)
Ciao Diane!

I saw Empire of the Sun, also, and loved it. But, real life now is so distressing that I am not in the mood to read High-Rise or anything else by Ballard. Last year I read a very dark, psychotic Japanese novel (Coin Locker Babies) and by the end I was exhausted and disturbed. Not at all amazed and fascinated by it like I might have been 30 years ago. I thought, "I am just too old for this kind of story!"

My theory is that because I spend more time alone than ever, I am less able to recover from feeling "exhausted and disturbed." All I have to do is turn on the news, see the latest governmental atrocity and that is more than enough for me!

Thank you, Bea.
