About this listen

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.

Will knows

how to read s story, yes they're his and he completely owns the performance, Britain's greatest author of the 30 years, and this is a pretty good intro to his early work, a master of the short story.

Profile Image for edward

self by self is a marvel

it's always best to get Prof. Self reading his own work. you get all the snark and grubby finger nails. I adore his short stories and these particular bleak trinkets of prose come from his junk phase making them all the more rancid.

very good.
