Every year, the booksellers at Powell’s submit their Top Fives: their five favorite books that were released in 2023. It’s a list that, when put together, shows just how varied and interesting the book tastes of Powell’s booksellers are. I highly recommend digging into the recommendations — we would never lead you astray — but today...

Let me begin by saying that J. G. Ballard isn't for everyone. However, his brilliant (if sometimes eccentric) work may well be for you. If you wait to read one of his novels, I suspect you'll not get around to it. When learning to understand any given author and how one feels about the fellow's works, a short story collection is surely the best bet. This was the attitude with which I began reading this collection, and I have discovered that I love J. G. Ballard. Having read a number of his novels since, I can say with confidence that this collection represents the breadth and depth of Ballard's style and capabilities. What does this mean to you? It means you'll find a story in here which you'll love. You may find several, or you may find only one, depending on your tastes, but I assure you there will, in fact, be something here for you. And it won't hurt you to find it.
