Controversial writer, journalist, critic and cartoonist Will Self reads selected works alongside new talents and young writers. Self’s subject matter ranges from
the bizarre – where man and woman swap sexual organs (Cock and Bull) or an artist wakes up in a world of monkeys (Great Apes) – to the philosophical, where
death is as stressful and tedious as life (How The Dead Live).
‘Self sees himself paradoxically both as a moral satirist and as a social rebel who is more interested in shocking his middle-class readers than in reforming them.’
– Glover 15.
Curated by Joelle Taylor in collaboration with the Poetry Society.
