14. Crash | Jonathan Craig
from Counterturn Hosted by Nelson Ruffat and Johnathan Craig
In 1973, J. G. Ballard published 'Crash', an orgy of a novel, which made an aesthetics of sex and violence. In what Ballard called an 'extreme metaphor', the car crash became the culmination of orgasm, celebrity worship, and nihilistic longing. Yes, well, quite. Who better to discuss this distasteful blemish on literature, than with writer and old friend, Jonathan Craig, with whom Nelson recorded the first episode of Counterturn, all those months ago. The novel can be purchased here: https://www.amazon.com.au/s?k=crash+ballard&crid=3MTVTFDJNAB47&sprefix=crash+ballar%2Caps%2C464&ref=nb_sb_noss_2 Jonathan Craig's aside on Princess Diana was based on this article: https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-57189371 Music for synthesizers was composed by Jonathan Craig. The theme song 'Zaftik' was composed and performed by Nelson Rufatt.
