'Darkly angelic prose... a joy to read, with the final part in
particular recalling David Foster Wallace at his best' Alex
Preston, Observer ________________________________ Will's mother's
hokey homily, Waste not, want not... hisses in his ears as he
oscillates furiously on the spot, havering on the threshold between
the bedroom and the dying one... 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 more...
and more, he hears it again and again: Waaaste nooot, waaant
nooot..! 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: That's all folks! as
the aperture screws shut forever.
________________________________________ 'Self's writing has the
same technicolour velocity, malign comedy as his best novels'
Evening Standard 'Refreshing . . . Self is never happier than when
frolicking in the hinterland between sincerity and performative,
winking hyperbole' TLS
