On a day in April, just after three oclock in the afternoon, Robert Maitlands
car crashes over the concrete parapet of a highspeed highway onto the island
below, where he is injured and, finally, trapped. What begins as an almost
ludicrous predicament soon turns into horror as Maitlanda wickedly modern
Robinson Crusoerealizes that, despite evidence of other inhabitants, this
doomed terrain has become a mirror of his own mind. Seeking the dark outer rim
of the everyday, Ballard weaves private catastrophe into an intensely specular
allegory in Concrete Island.
