What begins as an almost ludicrous predicament soon turns into horror as Maitland--a wickedly modern Robinson Crusoe--realizes that, despite evidence of other inhabitants, this doomed terrain has become a mirror of his own mind. Seeking the dark outer rim of the everyday, Ballard weaves private catastrophe into an intensely specular allegory.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"27th Letter Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67391046352941,"sku":"20506","price":15.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/27thletterbooks.com\/products\/concrete-island","provider":"27th Letter Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
