The Coelacanth Journal no.7 High-Rise, now available at Luminous Books.
”..It is interesting to consider that where ‘high-rise’ connotes modern living, ‘visionary’ planning, forwards..upwards..heaven-bent etc, the damning ‘tower-block’ takes us more into JG Ballard’s realm of the catastrophic (as explored in his 1975 novel, High- Rise), and the tortuous idea that as ancient an imperative it is for us to rise, we must always fall.” Phoebe Blatton, Editor.
This issue includes a reading list by Luminous Books on the theme of High-Rise.
