[COMPLETE] ACEs Needed: Crash

[Drace]

Harper Collins UK is publishing new editions of several of J.G. Ballard's books, and as a result, ACEs need to be made for them. I'm making separate threads for each book's editions so as not to have one overwhelmingly long thread. This one is for Crash.

1. Paperback Edition

TITLE: Crash

DESCRIPTION:
After being bombarded endlessly by road-safety propaganda it was almost a relief to find myself in an actual accident.

When James Ballard smashes his car into another, he becomes fascinated with the allure of violence. His new friend Dr Robert Vaughan – a charismatic figure with a dubious sense of morality – leads him to a transgressive underworld of desire, where the collision of modernity and sex are pushed to the extremes. In a society ruled by mass-media and technological advancements, are there any limits to humanity’s obsessions?

2. Kindle Edition

Previous Edition: Crash

TITLE: Crash
AUTHOR: J.G. Ballard
INTRODUCTION: Zadie Smith
ASIN: B002RI9SII
PUBLISHER: Fourth Estate
DATE PUBLISHED: May 9, 2024 (note: Goodreads policy is that the newest ACE should have the date that the edition was published set as the publication date. Amazon UK lists a 2009 date, but May 9 is the release date for these other new cover editions. If I’m incorrect on anything here, please let me know.)
NUMBER OF PAGES: 225
FORMAT: Kindle
DESCRIPTION:

The definitive cult, post-modern novel – a shocking blend of violence, transgression and eroticism.

When Ballard, our narrator, smashes his car into another and watches a man die in front of him, his sense of sexual possibilities in the world around him becomes detached. As he begins an affair with the dead man's wife, he finds himself drawn with increasing intensity to the mangled impacts of car crashes. Then he encounters Robert Vaughan, a former TV scientist turned nightmare angel of the expressway, who has gathered around him a collection of alienated crash victims and experiments with a series of auto-erotic atrocities, each more sinister than the last. But Vaughan craves the ultimate crash – a head-on collision of blood, semen, engine coolant and iconic celebrity.

First published in 1973, Crash remains one of the most shocking novels of the second half of the twentieth century and was made into an equally controversial film by David Cronenberg.
