Grey Area by Will Self

Grey Area by Will Self

Grey Area, like all of Will Self's fiction, is funny, bizarre and disturbing. From a London where every waiter is an aspiring writer to a supply teacher killed by the colossal philistinism of his pupils, this is a truly inimitable showcase of short stories.

‘Try these short stories which, at their best, have a satiric focus and punch absent from the rest of the contemporary scene' * Nicholas Lezard, Guardian *
‘A beautiful collection of Nathaniel West-ish tales which manage to combine the quirky stylistic devices which we know and love from The Quantity Theory of Insanity.. with a chilling moral diagnosis of all that is wrong with our society' * Financial Times *
‘A perversely colourful, delightful triumph' * Time Out *
‘The stories are at times funny, at times bizarre, at times caustic, but always readable' * Daily Telegraph *

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.
