My Idea of Fun by Will Self

My Idea of Fun by Will Self

When the young Ian Wharton first meets Mr Broadhurst, he is completely unaware of the influence he will come to exert over his life as ‘The Fat Controller' - a constant companion and confidant and also the obese, erudite manifestation of Ian's mental illness. As Ian's idea of fun becomes increasingly extreme, the reader is taken to a place where morality is eroded by the dull grind of modernity and everything becomes admissable.

‘This is a brilliant first novel, obscene, funny, opulently written, and, of course, agonisingly moral' * Observer *
‘No one else I can think of writes about contemporary Britain with such elan, energy and witty intelligenceRejoice' * Nicholas Lezard, Guardian *
‘Written with diabolical gusto and skill' * Evening Standard *
‘Vastly entertaining' * The Times *
