'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».
