Review of 'Crash' on 'Goodreads'
4 stars
Profound and exhausting. The word “semen” means nothing to me anymore. Dulled
Crash is a novel by English author J. G. Ballard, first published in 1973 with cover designed by Bill Botten. It is a story about car-crash sexual fetishism: its protagonists become sexually aroused by staging and participating in real car crashes, inspired by the famous crashes of celebrities. In 1996, the novel was made into a film of the same name by David Cronenberg.
