Synopsis

In May 2005 Penguin will publish 70 unique titles to celebrate the company's 70th birthday. The titles in the Pocket Penguins series are emblematic of the renowned breadth of quality of the Penguin list and will hark back to Penguin founder Allen Lane's vision of 'good books for all'.

Often characterised as the bad boy of English literature, Will Self has earned his reputation through a body of innovative, experimental and - to some - upsetting work. All his fiction is available in Penguin editions and the two stories collected in Design Faults in the Volvo 760 Turbo illustrate Self's gift for finding the extraordinary, the surreal and the downright absurd amidst the mundanities of modern life.
