Infos

Will Self's mesmeric, inimitable debut short-story collection

---

The fictional world of Will Self is unlike any other. In "The Quantity Theory of Insanity" we learn, amongst other things, the dark and terrible secret of Ward 9, why you are right to think that London is full of dead people and that each and every human being is caught up in a colossal balancing act between the sane and the insane. "The Quantity Theory of Insanity" is acerbic, satirical, hilarious and, most of all, utterly unique in imaginative vision.

Autor

Will Self is the author of four collections of short stories (the first of which, The Quantity Theory of Insanity, won the 1992 Geoffrey Faber Memorial Award), five novels (of which How the Dead Live was shortlisted for the Whitbread Novel of the Year in 2002), and four non-fiction works. He is a regular broadcaster on television and radio and as a journalist a contributor to a plethora of publications. He lives in London with his wife and four children.
