false 70241 29 J. G. Ballard's graphic, violent novel is controversial wherever it is read, even on Amazon.com's own Web page! The book's characters are obsessed with automobile accidents and are determined to narrate the horrors of the car crash as luridly as possible. In the words of the novel's protagonist, the wounds caused by automobile collisions are "the keys to a new sexuality born from a perverse technology." Read this novel and learn why David Cronenberg, who had previously adapted <i>Dead Ringers</i> and <i>Naked Lunch</i> for the screen, fought to turn it into his latest film. 68058 1973 Crash: A Novel total:1566|5:380|4:521|3:404|2:187|1:74| 1566 5644 2394 168 864393 0099334917 9780099334910 38 5 3.60 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1179002857m/864393.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/864393.Crash 4 8 false Thu Mar 20 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Mon Mar 17 17:18:29 -0700 2008 Fri Mar 21 13:44:21 -0700 2008 more...]]> 70241 0312420331 9780312420338 1376 144 3.60 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1255967119m/70241.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/70241.Crash_A_Novel 2 5 false Sun Aug 24 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Sun Dec 09 19:20:25 -0800 2007 Sun Aug 24 18:37:28 -0700 2008 more...]]> 70241 0312420331 9780312420338 1376 144 3.60 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1255967119m/70241.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/70241.Crash_A_Novel 2 3 false Sat Feb 02 10:47:15 -0800 2008 Mon Mar 03 14:28:51 -0800 2008 Crash is not pleasurable reading.
