A portrait of the artist as a young addict, \u003ci\u003eWill\u003c\/i\u003e is one of the most eloquent and unusual depictions of the allure of hard drugs ever written.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eWill\u003c\/i\u003e spins the reader from Self's childhood in a quiet North London suburb to his mind-expanding education at Oxford, to a Burroughsian trip to Morocco, an outback vision in Australia, and, finally, a surreal turn in rehab. Echoing the great Modernist writers of the early twentieth century in its psychedelic stream of consciousness, \u003ci\u003eWill\u003c\/i\u003e is vividly imagistic and mordantly witty. It is both kunstlerroman and confessional, a tale of excess and degradation, a karmic cycle that leads back to the author's own lack of . . . will.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWill Self\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of many novels and books of nonfiction, including \u003ci\u003eGreat Apes\u003c\/i\u003e; \u003ci\u003eHow the Dead Live\u003c\/i\u003e, which was shortlisted for the Whitbread Novel of the Year; \u003ci\u003eThe Butt\u003c\/i\u003e, winner of the Bollinger Everyman Wodehouse Prize for Comic Fiction; \u003ci\u003eUmbrella\u003c\/i\u003e, which was shortlisted for the Booker Prize; \u003ci\u003eShark\u003c\/i\u003e; and \u003ci\u003ePhone\u003c\/i\u003e.
