520 |a British novelist James Graham Ballard (1930-2009) was an inveterate mythmaker. In this article, I characterise him as a post-secular writer who saw the imagination as a means to confront trauma, probe memory, and salvage meaning in a secular age. Anchoring the argument in a selection of novels and works that constitute his ‘autobiographical turn’, I suggest that resonances with contemporary theology may be detected, particularly the disruptive, anti-fascist, postmodern, ‘tehomic’ theology of Catherine Keller.
