Beschreibung

<p><b>'Darkly angelic prose... a joy to read, with the final part in particular recalling David Foster Wallace at his best' </b>Alex Preston, <i>Observer</i><br> <b><i>________________________________</i></b><br><br> Will's mother's hokey homily, <i>Waste not, want not... </i>hisses in his ears as he oscillates furiously on the spot, havering on the threshold between the bedroom and the <i>dying one...</i> all the while cradling the plastic leech of the syringe in the crook of his arm. Oscillating furiously, and, as he'd presses the plunger home a touch <i>more... and more</i>, he hears it again and again: <i>Waaaste nooot, waaant nooot..!</i> whooshing into and out of him, while the blackness wells up at the periphery of his vision, and his hackneyed heart begins to beat out weirdly arrhythmic drum fills - even hitting the occasional rim-shot on his resonating rib cage. He waits, paralysed, acutely conscious, that were he simply to press his thumb right home, it'll be a cartoonish death: <i>That's all folks!</i> as the aperture screws shut forever.<br><br> ________________________________________<br><br> <b>'Self's writing has the same technicolour velocity, malign comedy as his best novels'</b> <i>Evening Standard</i><br> <b><br> 'Refreshing . . . Self is never happier than when frolicking in the hinterland between sincerity and performative, winking hyperbole' </b><i>TLS</i></p>
