Will Self, Old Market, Upper Market Street, Hove, April 24
Will Self, denim-shanked, obsidian-shirted, crepuscular hack-author, emerged from the gloom, his resonant boom commanding the house lights be dimmed, before he read from his latest expatiation, The Butt.
His performance demonstrated the delight he takes in diction and word play. His writing
is by turns masterful and heavy-handed, his reading of it revealing
as many moments
of overblown verbosity
as dexterous brilliance.
It was when he put the text aside to confront the motley crowd that his
wit and intelligence
truly announced itself.
Foolhardy hecklers were despatched with jocular ease: "If you don't like the book, I'll come round and shampoo your carpet", the response
to one accusation.
But it was the depth, clarity and force of his reasoning that really impressed - something
to be prized in times burdened by an excess
of imprecise thought.
