Darkly angelic prose... a joy to read, with the final part in particular recalling David Foster Wallace at his best * Alex Preston, Observer * Refreshing . . . Self is never happier than when frolicking in the hinterland between sincerity and performative, winking hyperbole * TLS * One of Britain's most inspired writers offers a no-holds-barred tale of his fascinating life. Spectacular . . . Self delivers a hallucinatory, confessional version of his life * Kirkus * Self's writing has the same technicolour velocity, malign comedy as his best novels * Claire Allfree, Evening Standard * Who else is writing with this much freedom and verve right now? * Metro * One of the most significant literary works of our century * New Statesman on Phone * Intellectually dazzling and emotionally frazzling * Guardian on Shark * Unstoppably entertaining * The Times on Umbrella *
