G. Ballard, our narrator, smashes his car into another and watches a man die in front of him, he finds himself drawn with increasing intensity to the mangled impacts of car crashes. Robert Vaughan, a former TV scientist turned nightmare angel of the expressway, has gathered around him a collection of alienated crash victims and experiments with a series of autoerotic 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. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFirst published in 1973, \u003ci\u003eCrash\u003c\/i\u003e remains one of the most shocking novels of the twentieth century and was made into an equally controversial film by David Cronenberg.\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/strong\u003e J.
