Ballard's Drowned World is 1962.
So far it gives me strong Bradbury, Pynchon, and Delaney feels.
Ray and JG were contemporary and I think it shows. In a good way!
It reminds me a lot of Dhalgren (1975), which I may rereread next because I kept losing interest carting around an enormous paperback that has since disappeared. No gay sex yet tho.
I won't reread Gravity's Rainbow (1973) again (I think), there's others I want to cover. Still have that kilo of a tome.
This is all probably somehow the fault of Paul Bowles.
