Will Self

Will Self is a British novelist, journalist and broadcaster known for his intellectually ambitious, darkly comic and often provocative fiction. He is one of the most distinctive voices in contemporary British literature, with a style that combines vast vocabulary, satirical wit and a fearless willingness to tackle taboo subjects. He has been a prolific contributor to newspapers, magazines and television. The Book of Dave is a satirical novel that alternates between contemporary London and a post-apocalyptic future in which the deranged rantings of a modern-day taxi driver have become the holy scripture of a new religion. The novel is a savage satire of religious fundamentalism, masculinity and contemporary culture, told with Self's characteristic linguistic inventiveness. Available as both books and audiobooks, Will Self's novels offer intellectually bracing listening and reading for fans of literary fiction who appreciate bold, experimental writing that challenges, provokes and entertains in equal measure.
