The fabulously named Family hobgoblin joins the rant 'o' thon, willfully violating one of the cardinal rules of modern left-field right-thinkingness by suggesting that J. G. Ballard is a stale, clapped-out old hack!? And without offering, like, any tortuously involved justifications. It seems the art of the ill-considered insult is not dead.

How strangely heartening.
