review 1: Self's most recent novel plays, as others have noted, on some of the theme's from his "Psychogeography" journalism, which is fabulous in itself. Though uneven, and I haven't quite finished it yet (somehow, except for "The Butt" I get worn out by Self's novels, and I have to come back to them a few times, though the experience is exhilarating)Self does manage to mirror Rabelais and far supersede American John Irving, along with a few others, in mere pages.
review 2: In his new book, a perpetually wayward Will Self investigates all manner of madness the only way he knows how – by strapping on his boots and walking to airports. Staged as a “memoir,” we follow the author as he meanders from London to LA to Yorkshire Cliffs. Along the way, he gleefully prods a... moret conceptual art, dissects a bloated, self-reflexive Hollywood, repeatedly catalogs his compulsive disorders, and peers into the void of his own diminishing mind. A fantastical skewering of psychosis and modern culture, Walking to Hollywood is yet another riotous trip from this mordant and masterful 21st century satirist. less
