Many were baffled or repelled by this unique sensibility--Ballard boasted for years that a publisher's reader had once described him as "beyond psychiatric help." Others were mesmerized. Critics came to rank him with Kafka, Italo Calvino, Stanislaw Lem, Jorge Luis Borges and William Burroughs...
...their “Fantastic Library.” You could immediately recognize these “FL” books because they all had pink covers. But you know who some of the writers were in that Fantastic Library?

The Krakow archbishop and close associate of the late Pope John Paul II, Stanislaw Dziwisz, has written a letter to the Catholic ZNAK publishing house, saying that it should not have published the book. A publishing house should "propagate historical truth," not "awake anti-Polish and anti-Semitic demons," said the archbishop. Polish prosecutors are considering charging Gross with slandering the Polish nation...
