"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".
