Reviews
'A work full of his trademark hypersensitive invention ... vast inventiveness ... glittering' * Independent on Sunday *
'Dazzling and discomfiting ... a supremely gifted writer and one of our most brilliant and iconoclastic public intellectuals' * GQ *
'Only a writer with Self's panache can hope to pull it off ... the flashes of brilliance make being inside his various heads an exciting, if occasionally alarming, experience' * Independent *
'A familiar mix of inspired satirical observations and his trademark discursiveness ... Self displays sudden turns of phrase that can have breathtaking emotional resonance' * The Times *
