Who would have thought...

...Howard Kendall played in the same school football team as Bryan Ferry in Washington, Co. Durham when they were both kids?
Not an Everton fan (in fact being a Liverpool fan I haven't written in this colour ink for over 45 years) but sad to hear of Howard's passing

J.G. Ballard: The Concordance

concordance (n.) An alphabetical list of the principal words used in a book or body of work, with their immediate contexts
Ballard has always experimented with the form of his fictions; fiction as book index, as questionnaire, as psychiatric report. This concordance of Ballard's works is part of a project to 'decode' the work using some of Ballard's own techniques — as he says:

'...the open-ended character of my fiction requires the reader himself to make a significant contribution. I'm offering a kit with which the reader, using my books as a sort of instructional manual (fit nozzle A into socket B, and you'll hear a loud whirring noise, which is the cosmos getting through to him).'

The concordance is based on all the material in Ballard's published novels, his non-fiction works; A User's Guide to the Millennium and his autobiography Miracles of Life. Also included is all the material in the one-volume Complete Short Stories (Flamingo 2001), the stories from The Atrocity Exhibition (Re/Search 1990), and various uncollected pieces, such as Neil Armstrong Remembers His Journey to the Moon
