- Will Self takes on the past, present, and future of literature in this collection of pieces, which span twenty years from 2001 to 2021, and have been previously published in outlets like the London Review of Books, Harper's Magazine, and the Guardian. Although the essays range widely in subject, they all circle around reading and the function of literature in our lives.
- Many of the collection's more recent pieces originated on Literary Hub, where Self has explored some essential basic questions relating to literature: how, what, and why to read?
- Self is one of the most distinctive essayists working in the English language and a highly regarded public intellectual with often controversial and iconoclastic opinions that win him notice and discussion. This book will offer a chance for interviews, profiles, and features on Self and his long career working as an always-opinionated writer and a critic.
- Grove now has all of Self's major works on its list, and we will also be publishing Why Read on the Grove list in the UK for the first time. We will work together closely on both sides of the Atlantic to ensure significant review attention.
- Self's most recent novel, Phone, was described as ?one of the most significant literary works of our century? by the New Statesman, and Christian Lorentzen wrote in New York that ?Self may not be the last modernist at work but at the moment he's the most fascinating of the tradition's torch bearers.?
