The Terminal Beach is one of the most brilliant collections of short stories by the author of Crash and Empire of the Sun. It ranges from the title story's disturbing picture of an abandoned atomic testing island in the Pacific to the shocking Oedipal fantasy 'The Gioconda of the Twight Noon'. At the heart of the stories lies the bitter paradox that the extraordinary creative power of man's imagination is matched only by his reckless instinct for destruction.
