The Quantity Theory of Morality by Will Self review – raucously inventive state-of-the-nation satire Thirty-five years on from his debut collection The Quantity Theory of Insanity, Self takes aim at London’s chattering classes in an excoriating vision of moral decline

Once had beer with #WillSelf at ANU bar in OZ. Someone grabbed me to sit with him. I didn’t know of him then (I was young). I was told to speak & listen. He said “yes, very good, but you must work hard”. A few years later I loved Great Apes & the rest! #writing

Writer #WillSelf is a riot. Take this description of an #Anglican church out of his #book Liver: "with their tepid air of state assisted piety". And the #Catholic : "musty battlefields where lust and repression fought it out, in the process of torturing wooden effigies". #writingcommunity #writing
