But Crash is not mad. It is, in fact, a terrifyingly sane book. Much like Sade's best work, one senses throughout that Ballard is not crazy. Instead, he is offering a scientific examination of pathology. Sade's works are littered with precise enumerations, lengthy descriptions of beautifully set tables and expensive furniture, the configurations into which bodies may be manipulated for maximization of pleasure—he was, after all, a man of the Enlightenment. Ballard was a man of the atomic age. He experienced World War II up close from the perspective of its victims, and he knew that no sane method could make sense of these events, which ended with the release of a weapon that liquidated hundreds of thousands but likely saved millions. He understood that we can only grasp the chaos of the human psyche by learning to speak its language and to read the signs it has left in the wreckage.
