- | '''''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]]. | + | |
