Rain Beef Indigo

Chapter 25: Purple Intermission #3



Something else for the ears (and eyes) to chew is Atrocity Atrocity
. Not that Atrocity Exhibition but that Atrocity Exhibition. That Atrocity Exhibition is J.G.Ballard's 1972 magnum opus. It is a mag'n'um opus and speaking on mag, it's two faced. Magazine and magazine, stories appeared in a 1970 magazine before a 1972 release as a novel, one whose reading's akin to loading a magazine into a gun and blowing your head off, it blows any reader away. The very anti-thesis of 2016's Brown's Atrocity Exhibition it is then, for Atrocity Exhibition "blew" the collective rap's head before being in year end magazines. A purple album and polar opposite, the novel is violet but that's not the way to view them. There is no point of view, only point or view, pure or vogue, royalty or ultraviolet.
