The paperback edition of Extreme Metaphors goes on sale on the 30 January, with a new cover, new design from the in-house HarperCollins team, and a rather enticing price-tag. Here’s what some of the reviewers had to say about it:<\/p>\n

\"Extreme<\/a>
Extreme Metaphors. J.G. Ballard. prerelease cover<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

“Extreme Metaphors<\/em> is such an absorbing read. Just as the letters of certain writers – Keats, Wilde, Flaubert – have come to seem invaluable, unmissable parts of their oeuvres<\/em>, so this collection of forty-odd bits of journalism can be enjoyed as a kind of protracted non-fiction novel”, Kevin Jackson<\/a>, Literary Review<\/p>\n

“Impeccably edited, the book serves as a valuable coda to one of the strangest and most haunted imaginations in English literature”\u00a0 Ian Thomson<\/a>, Books of the Year, Observer<\/p>\n

“An illuminating and at times revelatory collection of more than 40 interviews given over 41 years” John Gray<\/a>, New Statesman<\/p>\n

“Several pieces are previously unpublished, or translated for the first time, and devotees will find plenty to enjoy” Andrew McKie<\/a>, Spectator<\/p>\n

“I will be very surprised if any novel this year gives me as much pleasure as this book. And I can guarantee (now that Ballard is dead) that no novel will contain so many provocative, intriguing and visionary ideas” Julian Gough<\/a>, Irish Times<\/p>\n
