Miracles of Life -, by J. G. Ballard

Ballard is the author of "Empire of the Sun", as well as some of the most controversial books in recent literature, such as "Crash" and "The Atrocity Exhibition". Like in 'Empire', he was interned in a Japanese prison camp in Shanghai during WWII. Always liked his books but never imagined the single father of three young children who wrote them. Amazing book. Amazing man.
