Talk:The Atrocity Exhibition

RE/Search edition
The RE/Search edition was published in 1990, not 1984. They did publish a book about Ballard in general (RE/Search #8/9) in 1984 so maybe that's the reason for the earlier date. -- Gyrofrog (talk) 05:23, 14 February 2006 (UTC)

Doubleday
Why no mention of the shredding of the first edition from doubleday? ill try to add it, its a notable nonpublication of a book. Mercurywoodrose (talk) 21:56, 31 May 2009 (UTC)

Joy Division
Just saw the part on Joy Division, should it be mentioned that it was the book Ian Curtis read just before he hung himself —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.44.34.43 (talk) 20:52, 31 July 2010 (UTC)

Love & Napalm
The short story Love & Napalm was actually first published, I think, in the last number of Klactoveedsedsteen, a Little Mag from German cut-up writer, publisher and translator Carl Weissner. In is in Klactoveedsedsteen's last issue, called Klacto/23 International, which was published (it seems) in 1967 and - very probably not in 1969, as is often stated, because of the wrong (ha) date September 17, 1899. It is clearly visible on the cover of the mag (designed as a newspaper) on a photo of the issue on Jed Birmingham's Reality Studio site (from the Reality Studio/Klactoveedsedsteen entry).--Radh (talk) 11:07, 31 August 2010 (UTC)
 * I don’t think that this can be right. For one thing, the photo of Klacto/23 International clearly shows a reference to the forthcoming German publication of “The Atrocity Exhibition” by Melzer in 1970, so it surely can't date from 1967! There do seem to have been some differences between (i) the original Klacto/23 - published in 1967, containing “Parenthetically 7 hertz” by William Burroughs but nothing by Ballard – and (ii) the variant edition Klacto/23 International published in 1969, containing “Love & Napalm” by Ballard and “The Invisible Generation” and “Abstract” by Burroughs. For info on these differences, see the brief history and contents of Klactoveedsedsteen magazine at the Harry Ransom Center website, and the extensive Burroughs bibliography by Brian E. C.

 * Following on from the above, I've now amended the publication details of a couple of the individual stories as per David Pringle's updated Ballard bibliography (which was included in the exhibition catalogue "Crash: Homage to J G Ballard", Gagosian Gallery, 2010).Mikkehh (talk) 19:44, 1 October 2010 (UTC)
