Or in his pungent, nonlinear ‘condensed novels’: ‘Later Powers often thought of Whitby, and the strange grooves the biologist had cut, apparently at random, all over the floor of the empty swimming pool.’ …from the outset, it was impossible to mistake Ballard’s dry voice and curious obsessions: ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Learn how to make a Southwestern Pasta Bake and you'll be able to make a Smoky Chipotle Chili Con Queso Mac the next time.
