hardcover. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. First Edition. New York. 1994. April 1994. Atlantic Monthly Press. 1st American Edition. Very Good in Dustjacket.Remainder Mark. 0871135655. 311 pages. hardcover. Jacket design by Rick Pracher. Signed by the Author. keywords: Europe England Literature World Literature. DESCRIPTION - The story of a devilishly clever international financier/marketing wizard and his young apprentice, My Idea of Fun is both a frighteningly dark subterranean exploration of capitalism run rampant and wickedly sharp, technically acute display of linguistic pyrotechnics that glows with pure white-hot brilliance. Ian Wharton is a very ordinary young man until he is taken under the wing of a gentleman known variously as Mr. Broadhurst, Samuel Northcliff, and finally and conclusively simply as the Fat Controller. Loud-mouthed, impeccably tailored, a fount of bombastic erudition, the Fat Controller initiates Ian into the dark secrets of his arts - of marketing, money, and the human psyche - and takes Ian, and the reader, on a wild voyage around the edges of reality. As we careen into the twenty-first century, Self perfectly captures the zeitgeist of our times: money is the only common language; consumerism, violence and psychosis (drug-induced and otherwise) prevail; and the human soul has become the ultimate product. inventory #19410 Very Good in Dustjacket.Remainder Mark.

First Edition
Soft cover. Condition: Fine. 1st Edition. First U.S. edition, advance reader's edition (uncorrected advance proof). Glossy, printed wraps; 9 x 6 inches, 309 pp. Fine (unread). Publisher's letter laid in. The English author's first novel, preceded by his short-story collection, The Quantity Theory of Insanity, and novellas, Cock & Bull. From Wikipedia: "William Woodard "Will" Self (born 26 September 1961) is an English author, journalist and television personality. He is perhaps best known for being caught taking heroin on John Major's campaign plane whilst covering the 1997 general election for The Observer. Self is the author of nine novels, five collections of shorter fiction, three novellas and five collections of non-fiction writing, of which his novel Umbrella was shortlisted for the Man Booker Prize. His fictional style is known for being satirical, grotesque, and fantastical, and is predominantly set within London. His fiction often deals with such themes as mental illness, illegal drugs and psychiatry. Self's regular columns for Building Design on the built environment, and for the Independent Magazine on the psychology of place brought him to prominence as a thinker concerned with the politics of urbanity. Self is a regular contributor to publications including Playboy, Harpers, The New York Times and the London Review of Books. He currently writes two fortnightly columns for New Statesman, and over the years he has been a columnist for The Observer, The Times and the Evening Standard. He is a regular contributor on British television, initially as a guest on comic panel shows such as Have I Got News For You and Shooting Stars, but latterly appearing on serious political programmes such as Newsnight and Question Time. He is also a frequent contributor to BBC Radio 4."(3214015).
