The Quantity Theory of Insanity
Gimmicky, heartless surrealism.: Will Self is perhaps the most cruel, heartless writer of contemporary British fiction today. He has an immense encyclopedic intellect, but cares little for his characters, subjecting them to merciless metaphorical [... more]

Great Apes (Self, Will)
Just a waste of time: Great Apes was a waste of time to read. The author was obviously trying to comment on modern society through a "Planet Of The Apes" type gimmick, but the payoff isn't worth the effort. The author really doesn't have much [... more]

The Sweet Smell of Psychosis: A Novella (Self, Will)
Amazon.com Review: The Sweet Smell of Psychosis (very loosely based on Alexander Mackendrick's searing '50s movie Sweet Smell of Success) is the kind of mordant fable that Will Self could toss off in his sleep. But although it doesn't stretch Self's [... more]

Dorian
Many people just don't like this sort of stuff...: ...but I'd rather be one of the few who finds pleasure in Self's perversity than one of the many who see only perveristy in such pleasures (as those of the wanton that is Self's Henry Wotton). Perhaps [... more]

How the Dead Live
Amazon.com Review: In April 1988, 65-year-old Lily Bloom quickly succumbs to cancer in the Royal Ear Hospital. ("Where do they keep the Royal Ear, I wonder? I think of it as very large--as big as a dinner tray--and very red, angrily red.") But [... more]

Tough, Tough Toys for Tough, Tough Boys (Self, Will)
Amazon.com Review: Will Self's tabloid-friendly reputation as a connoisseur of proscribed substances should not obscure the fact that he can write many of his contemporaries under the table. His latest collection, Tough, Tough Toys for Tough, Tough Boys, [... more]

Grey Area (Self, Will)
Amazon.com Review: The latest collection of short stories by Will Self explores a world so saturated with sensory stimulation its inhabitants are immune to it. In the minds of his characters, vastly complicated interior worlds and conspiracies are formed [... more]

My Idea of Fun
Disgusting and entertaining: My only prior experience with Will Self was through The Quantity Theory of Insanity, a collection of short stories that defiantly refused to be what I expected of them; whether that's really a good thing or not I have yet to [... more]

My Idea of Fun: A Novel
Will Self is great. Period.: I will be honest: My Idea of Fun is an excellent book albeit confusing. The story of Ian Wharton, a taciturn eidetic, sometimes blurs the fine line of reality and the subconscious. Will Self fuses together elements of [... more]

Quantity Theory of Insanity
The Quantity Theory of Drug Intake: Sit down and write a clever, although overdone, Twilight Zone-esque short story. Great. Now you have to write a dozen or more short stories to fulfill the contract with your publisher. Oh, the pressure! Just whip out [... more]

Dr. Mukti and Other Tales of Woe
Weird Self: Will Self is sui generis, there is no one like him. He has plied his weird, surrealist trade in fiction and journalism for a while now, but I think this book tops his others in the bizarre stakes. Personally, I didn't think it was as good as [... more]
