📱 eBook en inglés THE QUANTITY THEORY OF MORALITY

In The Quantity Theory of Morality, Will Selfs pen remains dipped in vitriol and elegance as ever. The disaffected, middle-class, middle-aged urbanites that populate the novel seem helpless to stop the decay of their intimate, self-conscious social circle. And yet, as Selfs skewering (and self-skewering) grows ever more wildly imaginative, targeting faith, death, money, queerness, Jewishness and nearly every piece of our social fabrics connective tissue, it becomes all too clear that the decay cannot simply be cut out - their lives are rotten to their core.

With recurring - if defeated - appearances from now-canonical characters like Zack Busner, this new work shows Self to be both a master of satire and slapstick humour and a sublime and thoughtful critic of the alienation of modern life. The Quantity Theory of Morality delicately bookends his award-winning story collection The Quantity Theory of Insanity, which Martin Amis likened to a cross between a manic J. G. Ballard and a depressed David Lodge. Although, as ever, Will Selfs world is all his own.
