As an American who was lucky enough to start reading and seeking out Ballard VERY heavily early in his SF career and in my adolescence (I'm in my 50s now) and trying to keep the absolutely unique Ballardian flame going over here in the USA, I was devastated that I had no shortwave and thought I would miss this fantastic BeeB interview. JGB is a National Treasure of Britain and every word he has to say now (news of his diagnosis struck me like a body blow- to be denied him in the future is unthinkable to me) is absolutely crucial. He has MUCH more of a following here than he may think - (ask Bruce Sterling) and his books as they evolved were a MAJOR axis (dare I say obsession?) of my own intellectual and literary development as an incessant reader. Our own literary scene, much like Britain's, has deadened horribly - WITH HIS SHINING EXCEPTION! Thanks again for all the work of the transcription and as always, to Simon! Thank you THANK YOU!!!

I had a similar kind of upbringing. I've decided that my parents were not unkind...they just found it hard to show affection. Something to do with their own upbringing no doubt.
