FEEDING FRENZY, Will Self's third collection of journalism and selected writings takes us through the turbulent years 1995-2000. During this period Self surfed the great wave of olive oil which nearly swept British metropolitan culture away, and produced a series of restaurant reviews for The Observer, whose coruscating criticality led to a cabal of restaurateurs plotting his contract killing. In essays to accompany the work of admired artists such as Marc Quinn, feature articles on rock music and remote places, reviews of cultural phenomena as diverse as voyeuristic television and the Queen Mother, Self has produced what can only be described as a cachinnating cacophony of wilful provocation.

Reviews for Feeding Frenzy

A splendid book, well argued and carefully researched. P. Coby, Smith College, Choice Important and insightful...a valuable contribution to the study of early-modern political thought that extends beyond illuminating such seminal thinkers--itself an impressive feat--and goes further to provide a comprehensive acocunt of the way in which a number of well-defined ideas and principles shaped the development of nascent liberal and republican theory in England. APSA Perspectives on Politics This is an important, original, scholarly, and powerfully argued book. Though its primary readership will probably be political scientists--and especially theorists--it also has much to tell scholars whose main interests are in early modern British--and, indeed, American--history. H-Albion Sullivan's style is clear and uncluttered - Conal Condren, University of New South Wales, Australia This is an important, original, scholarly, and powerfully argued book. Though its primary readership will probably be political scientists--and especially theorists--it also has much to tell scholars whose main interests are in early modern British--and, indeed, American--history. - Johann Sommerville, Department of History, University of Wisconsin, Madison, H-NET
