Book description
Everything that makes Will Self s fiction so arresting and original is
in evidence here in this collection of his best articles, book reviews
and interviews from the Observer, the Guardian, the Independent, the
Evening Standard and many more. Whether describing penis operations,
narcotics or merely pondering the nature of slacking, these pieces are
as witty and acerbic as one would expect from one of our foremost
contemporary satirists. 'His prose crackles with wit' Independent 'An
explosive collection' J. G. Ballard, Guardian 'Self's gifts as stylist
and satirist are amply revealed ... we finally get the undivided Self in
all his maddening brilliance' Spectator 'Each of the essays in this
collection of journalism and cartoons provides a hit of intravenous
prose, a rush of silly and psychedelic excitement ... like De Quincy
before him, he is "twitching away the decent drapery" to
reveal something darker, deeper and altogether more funny' Observer
