In essays to accompany the work of admired artists such as Marc Quinn, feature articles on rock music and remote places, reviews of cultural phenomena as diverse as voyeuristic television and the Queen Mother, Will Self has produced what can only be described as a cachinnating cacophony of wilful provocation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFrom the Booker-shortlisted author of \u003ci\u003eUmbrella\u003c\/i\u003e, this virtuoso collection, which also includes interviews and musings on Salman Rushdie, Hunter S.
