The Impossible Man
Paperback original, 1966
Published as a paperback original by Berkley Books in 1966, The Impossible Man is a U.S. collection of nine stories by J.G. Ballard. Key stories include "The Drowned Giant" (1964), a quietly devastating account of the public dismemberment of a colossal humanoid body washed ashore, and “The Reptile Enclosure” (1962), a dystopian study of crowd psychology in which infrared satellites trigger a lemming-like mass migration into the sea. It also contains "Time of Passage" (1964), a narrative that reverses the biological timeline from death to birth.
This collection includes: "The Drowned Giant" (1964), "The Reptile Enclosure" (1962), "The Delta at Sunset" (1964), "Storm-Bird, Storm-Dreamer" (1966), "The Screen Game" (1963), "The Day of Forever" (1966), "Time of Passage" (1964), "The Gioconda of the Twilight Noon" (1964), and "The Impossible Man" (1966).
