Many of Self's habitual themes are here – madness, hallucination, sexual fluidity, narcotics – and they fit the milieu rather well, though one always wonders why he devotes so much attention to a subculture for which he feels such obvious contempt. As so often with his books, there is a raw, frazzled sense of nausea to the writing, and a note of nastiness to many of the characterisations. But watching how Will Self puts a sentence together – which, for better or worse, he does like no one else – is always instructive, always a thrill. ( )
