Tough, Tough Toys for Tough, Tough Boys
Author(s): Will Self
'Self at his most nihilistic and funny; you'll laugh and flinch at the same time' - "Guardian". 'Self has turned out a hilarious collection, with the requisite touch of disorientation. "Flytopia", the story about a man who suddenly finds flies more lovable than his girlfriend, follows the Kafkaesque line Self opened with his recent novel "Great Apes" - man as animal..."Story for Europe", about a two-year-old north Londoner who suddenly starts speaking business German, is comic genius' - "New Statesman". 'When Will Self wants to step outside his cultivated amoral threshold and shock us into rage, the effect can be profound. This is Self's third short-story collection and like all the best books it delivers what its title promises...an awesome London Dungeon of a collection...Self is a massive talent' - "Time Out".
