What begins as an almost ludicrous predicament soon turns into horror as Maitland--a wickedly modern Robinson Crusoe--realizes that, despite evidence of other inhabitants, this doomed terrain has become a mirror of his own mind. Seeking the dark outer rim of the everyday, Ballard weaves private catastrophe into an intensely specular allegory.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Picador USA","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48226197504151,"sku":"9780312420345","price":994.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780312420345.webp?v=1788769802","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/concrete-island-9780312420345","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
