-'''''Crash''''' is a novel by [[United Kingdom|English]] author [[J. G. Ballard]], first published in [[1973]]. It is a story about [[car]]-[[crash]] [[sexual fetishism]]: its protagonists get their sexual [[kick]]s by staging and participating in very real car-crashes, often with very real consequences. Ballard used for the book a cold and detached language, giving the impression of an [[objective]] [[medical journal]].+

-It was a highly [[controversial]] novel: famously one publisher's reader returned the verdict "This author is beyond psychiatric help. Do Not Publish." The novel was adapted and made into a film in [[1996]], also called ''[[Crash (1996 film)|Crash]]''.{{GFDL}}+
