Items related to The Book of Dave
The Book of Dave is based around the rants of Dave Rudman, a disgruntled East End taxi driver, who writes his woes down and buries them ... only to have them discovered 500 years later and used as the sacred text for a religion that has taken hold in the flooded remnants of London.
Will Self's big bold book dares to take on the grand themes in the grand manner. It is at once a profound meditation upon the nature of received religion; a love story; a caustic satire of contemporary urban life and a historical detective story set in the far future.

Review:
'Epic and bitterly funny, this stew of satire and linguistic wizardry is everything you'd expect from Britain's master of misanthropy' -- Arena, July 2006
'Mindboggling ... darkly hilarious ... Self makes us look at ourselves; once again, he fills us with disquiet. A fascinating book.' -- Evening Standard, May 22, 2006
'Vivid, visceral and breathtakingly ambitious, this is Self's best yet' -- GQ, July 2006
The Book of Dave is Self's most successful novel to date. Funny, frightening, moving' -- Telegraph, May 20, 2006
