About this title

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
