The Mondo series is a set of four pop culture anthologies published between 1993 and 1996. Each book focuses on a different cultural icon: Mondo Barbie, Mondo Elvis, Mondo Marilyn, and Mondo James Dean.
J.G. Ballard contributed to these collections, which feature short essays, fiction, and art from various writers and artists. The books reflect the kind of media and consumer culture analysis that ran through much of Ballard’s own fiction.
