The Crystal World - (a novel)
J. G. BallardThrough a 'leaking' of time, the West African jungle starts to crystallize. Trees are metamorphosed into enormous jewels. Crocodiles encased in second glittering skins lurch down the river. Pythons with huge blind gemstone eyes rear in heraldic poses.
Fearing this transformation as a herald of the apocalypse, most flee the area in terror, afraid to face a catastrophe they cannot understand. But some, dazzled and strangely entranced, remain to drift through this dreamworld forest. Travelling through this gilded land, the doctor tries to resist its strange allure, while a tribe of lepers search for Paradise.
From dust jacket flap: "The author has created a shimmering and fascinating picture of the forces of nature gone wrong. The protagonist of The Crystal World is Dr. Edward Sanders, and the setting of his strange story is the interior of Africa. The first thing Sanders noticed, on arriving at Port Matarre in search of his friends, Dr. and Madame Clair, was a "pervading auroral gloom, broken by sudden inward shifts of light". This curious darkness at mid-morning marked the beginning of his sense of unease and foreboding"...A must read for the J. G. Ballard fan and a novel you will not be able to put down. It was a Nebula award nominee.
