  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.

  Having produced illustrative cartoons for the New Statesman in the early 1980s, Will Self went on to publish spot cartoons for many different journals. The best of these are reproduced in this volume together with features and critical articles written for others. The material is mostly concerned with the politics, culture and ritual of intoxication. From Cryonicists in LA to narcs in Amsterdam, Self examines examples of weirdness. He is the author of The Quantity Theory of Insanity , shortlisted for the 1992 John Llewellyn Rhys Prize and winner of the 1993 Geoffrey Faber Memorial Prize, and of Cock & Bull , My Idea of Fun and Grey Area .
