NOTES

Narrated by Gerard Doyle

Best-selling author J.G. Ballard was a privileged British child living in China when World War II broke out. Separated from his parents, he was confined in a Japanese internment camp from 1942 to 1945. Empire of the Sun is his riveting eyewitness account of these years during the Japanese occupation of Shanghai. It was made into a popular, award-winning movie directed by Steven Spielberg. Narrator Gerard Doyle's performance captures young Ballard's courage and curiosity
