AUTHOR’S NOTE

Most of the film stars and political figures who appear in The Atrocity Exhibition are still with us,

in memory if not in person - John F. Kennedy, Ronald Reagan, Marilyn Monroe and Elizabeth

Taylor. Together they helped to form the culture of celebrity that played such a large role in the

1960s, when I wrote The Atrocity Exhibition.

Other figures, though crucially important to the decades that followed, have begun to sink below

the horizon. How many of us remember Abraham Zapruder, who filmed the Kennedy

assassination in Dallas? Or Sirhan Sirhan, who murdered Robert Kennedy? At the end of each

chapter I have provided a few notes that identify these lesser characters and set out the general

background to the book.

Readers who find themselves daunted by the unfamiliar narrative structure of The Atrocity

Exhibition - far simpler than it seems at first glance - might try a different approach. Rather than

start at the beginning of each chapter, as in a conventional novel, simply turn the pages until a

paragraph catches your eye. If the ideas or images seem interesting, scan the nearby paragraphs

for anything that resonates in an intriguing way. Fairly soon, I hope, the fog will clear, and the

underlying narrative will reveal itself. In effect, you will be reading the book in the way it was

written.

J.G. Ballard, 2001
