Book description
Carol, the heroine of Cock, is extremely dissatisfied with her married
life. Realisation that her husband Dan is not the man for her has come
too late and insult follows injury as Dan s drinking problem gives way
to an obsessive fervour for Alcoholics Anonymous. One evening while Dan
is out, Carol discovers something entirely unexpected about herself that
leads her into rather twisted and distinctly uncharted waters ... On the
flip side, there is Bull. John Bull is a man s man. A rugby player, a
drinker. He s also about to wake up to something of an anatomical
surprise, a surprise that his doctor seems to be much more interested in
than is entirely proper ... 'There is a lot of the attention-grabber
in Will Self, and in his prose ... Brings home how daft, compelling and
dirty sex can be, all at the same time' Nicholas Lezard, Independent on
Sunday 'His technique is dazzling, packed with wicked wit and and
sparkling invention. Cock and Bull is scabrously brilliant stuff' Time
Out 'These stories of transexual metamorphoses and hermaphroditic
intercourse are likely to provoke demented laughter of a degree that may
knock your socks off' Evening Standard 'Imagine a film of Kafka's
Metamorphosis, scripted by William Burroughs and shot by David
Cronenburg and you would have Cock and Bull: two novellas, mirrors of
each other, both attempting entry to a "a twilight zone" ...
pure delight to verbal perverts everywhere' Sunday Times Carol, the
heroine of Cock, is extremely dissatisfied with her married life.
