About this product

Product Information

The novel opens with the narrator recovering in hospital after a serious car crash in which he has killed the husband of a young woman doctor. In his pain-filled dreams he finds himself dominated by strange sexual fantasies, and he determines to find the real meaning of this horrific experience. When he leaves hospital he revisits the scene of the crash, and meets the woman doctor. During their affair they begin an exploration of the motor-car in all forms, attending stock-car races, watching test vehicles being crashed, conducting a variety of sexual experiments on London motorways. A disquieting vision of the future in which sex and technology form a nighmare marriage.

  • An interesting concept spoiled by laboured, overworked writing.

    I bought Crash to read for my book group-if it's relevant we are all women but some had shared the book with male partners. We all hated it! The style and language was extremely repetitive and this made the subject matter unconvincing and reading the book a drudgery. The subject matter, the ghoulish interest in photographing road accidents and deriving sexual stimulation from this, seems prophetic for the time when it was written, given the apparent modern appeal of photographing all sorts of horrors on mobile phones. I feel that the message of the book could have been conveyed far more effectively in 20 pages rather than the 220 of the book. Had it been shorter it would have been far more powerful and interesting. A disappointing work from a respected author.

  • Great stuff

    Grrreeaaat stuff!!!
