Crash
J.G. Ballard
This novel opens with the narrator in hospital after a serious car crash in which he killed a doctor's husband. When he leaves hospital, he revisits the scene of the crash, and meets the doctor. They begin an affair which involves sexual experiments on London motorways.






One of my favourite books of all time.
It's cold, disorientating and oh so English.
Ballard uses the template of a chance occurrence that draws a conflicted protagonist into a secret group of deviants again and again, but not so well as he does in Crash.
I can't think of a more English book.
I agree Billy. This is a terrific book. It changes the way you look at scars and beauty
