After some unconfirmed reports via twitter, Michael Moorcock passes on the news that author J.G. Ballard has passed away. Also confirmed by BBC.
BSC would like to send our condolences to his family. A major loss of a foundational and transcending writer in field(s) I love.

I want to note that Brian actually passed on the word to me (which he got via Rick Klaw) sometime before more ‘official’ word. Big thanks to Brian, but I wanted confirmation before noting something of this nature.
You and your damned journalistic integrity
I just cruised the entire house and I don’t currently have any Ballard on hand anywhere
Well, Ive seen places as reputable as Locus (and several other more minor venues) make unfortunate (and honest) mistakes regarding announcing deaths prematurely, and it doesn’t cost me anything to wait.
I’d have to say Vermilion Sands is a must buy.
A Great writer. Top satirist.
