Book description
Grey Area, like all of Will Self s fiction, is funny, bizarre and
disturbing. From a London where every waiter is an aspiring writer to a
supply teacher killed by the colossal philistinism of his pupils, this
is a truly inimitable showcase of short stories. 'Try these short
stories which, at their best, have a satiric focus and punch absent from
the rest of the contemporary scene' Nicholas Lezard, Guardian 'A
beautiful collection of Nathaniel West-ish tales which manage to combine
the quirky stylistic devices which we know and love from The Quantity
Theory of Insanity ... with a chilling moral diagnosis of all that is
wrong with our society' Financial Times 'A perversely colourful,
delightful triumph' Time Out 'The stories are at times funny, at times
bizarre, at times caustic, but always readable' Daily Telegraph Grey
Area, like all of Will Self s fiction, is funny, bizarre and disturbing.
From a London where every waiter is an aspiring writer to a supply
teacher killed by the colossal philistinism of his pupils, this is a
truly inimitable showcase of short stories.
