Everything you need to understand or teach The Drought by J.G. Ballard.
In J. G. Ballard's The Drought, a prolonged drought cripples Dr. Charles Ransom's Mount Royal and Hamilton communities. Although he has lost his job and his wife, and the cities are evacuating, Ransom is reluctant to depart for the coast. It is not until he realizes that life in Hamilton is unsustainable, that Ransom sets out on a journey towards the beach, and thus his future. Written from the third person point of view, Ballard's apocalyptic novel explores themes including identity, memory, and climate change.
