I like Will Self a lot. But I haven’t read a lot. I have read Umbrella, Shark, Phone. Or listened to them on audiobook. Umbrella is a masterpiece I think.

That’s diving right into the deep end, there. Yep, I agree. Dense but brilliant.

I’d be curious to check out the audiobook versions. I wonder if the narrators do a little rendition of the embedded songs, ‘I’m an ape man, I’m an ape ape man.’

Thanks for reading and sharing, Drew!

Excellent!

I’m starting it on the train tomorrow, myself. Looks promising—had a quick flick through earlier and some descriptions had me cracking up.
