This is the sequel to Empire of the Sun and perhaps more inspired. Each chapter, from the time of Jamie's return to Shanghai after prison camp to the final page and the rediscovery of his lost childhood through the lives of his own children, is achieved through a rolling sea of stories of love, death, travel, deviant sex, beautiful, healing love-making, drugs and self-understanding, all told with such honesty and writerly flair that it provides a level of autobiography above most. JG Ballard is one of our finest writers and this book may be his finest.
