...warped realms conjured up in his 19 novels and myriad short stories have always stood in intriguing contradiction to the engaging, resolutely suburban, rather old-fashioned man who wrote them. At no point in his slim and dignified autobiography, Miracles of Life: Shanghai to Shepperton, does Ballard address that mismatch. But just by the telling, his story explains...
...Amaker in the turtle neck. He pulls it off--barely. Kind of goofy, though. Okay, see how many times I can reference the "neck," as I'll deem it. Deftly, of course. 8:02: Pat Magnerelli (barely 6'9) v. Tim Clifford (pushing 7'0): Big, big, BIG mismatch. 19:18 (I'm going game time): Harvard forces turnover, tied at 2-2. 19:02: Harris walks.
