Beskrivning

This is the sparkling debut with which Will Self burst onto the literary scene. In it, we discover a superhumanly dull tribe of Amazonians, the terrible, seductive secret of Ward 9 and why you are right to think that London is full of dead people. Full of his trademark jagged-edge satire and dark wit, The Quantity Theory of Insanity is acerbic, hilarious and, most of all, utterly unique in its imaginative vision. 'Very funny and very good, with that unmistakable sign of the genuine comic writer: absurdity unfurls logically from absurdity, but always as a mirror of what we are living in - and wish we didn't'Doris Lessing

‘If a manic J. G. Ballard and a depressive David Lodge got together, they might produce something like The Quantity Theory of Insanity. But Will Self's world is all his own'
