A set of 3 books in good condition. Will Self - My idea of Fun, The Quantity Theory of Insanity, Sore Sites.
Will Self has established himself as one of the most brilliant, daring, and inventive writers of his generation. My Idea of Fun is Will Selfs highly acclaimed first novel. The story of a devilishly clever international financier/marketing wizard and his young apprentice, My Idea of Fun is both a frighteningly dark subterranean exploration of capitalism run rampant and a wickedly sharp, technically acute display of linguistic pyrotechnics that glows with pure white-hot brilliance.
Will Self takes this opportunity to scratch at the sore places and follies of modern life -- the Millennium Dome, the Diana cult, Berlin, the new Getty Center, the Cotswolds; to promote his heroes -- JG Ballard, Thomas De Quincey, Julian Jaynes; and to share his observations.
The Quantity Theory of Insanity is a short story by the English novelist and journalist Will Self. It is one of six stories in a collection of the same name. Its central conceit is that there is only a fixed proportion of sanity available to any given society at any given time. The story is a broad satire of academia, social science and our treatment and understanding of mental disorder.
