Tough, Tough Toys for Tough, Tough Boys is a fresh assortment of corkscrewed tales from the author of Great Apes. The Guardian (London) describes Will Self as "a wayward genius", and you will find out why when you take notice of the author's pitiless dissection of the foibles of men, women, and the Volvo 760 Turbo. Self's world is a no-funhouse of warped mirrors. A guy is seduced into a misanthropically charged symbiosis with the insects infesting his cottage; he has entered "Flytopia". In "A TALE for Europe", a two-year-old English child utters his first halting words...in business German. In "Caring, Sharing", status-conscious New Yorkers navigate the perils of dating with their very literal inner children. In "The Rock of Crack as Big as the Ritz", a black Londoner discovers an enormous rock of crack cocaine underpinning his house and quickly turns it into a competent little empire. Inside the title story, a psychoanalyst strips away all the sangfroid of his professionalism to find beneath...precisely nothing. And in the short novella The Nonce Prize, a man framed for a sex crime he didn't commit finds that his only way out is to win a short-story competition. Sharp, funny, and packed with verbal fireworks, Tough, Tough Toys for Tough, Tough Boys confirms yet again Will Self's stature among the most accomplished and original writers of his generation.
