Synopsis
Faulkner gradually becomes disconnected from the physical world—first by quitting his job but then by erasing the reality around him.
History
First publication: New Worlds #108, July 1961
Review
A cool little story that leaves you uncertain if Faulkner really has the ability to erase the world or if he is just slowly going mad. Ballard is making a statement about the toll that all of the little stresses in our lives in the modern world can do to our minds.
