/lit/ - Literature

Don't lie, you know a debate between Will Self and Peterson would be legendary.

"I always start with physicality when I'm writing as a woman. So I always have a vagina and think about having periods. I always start with an embodiment. And I think when I read men writing about women, they never seem to have thought about that. They've never thought: actually, you've got a cycle, you're different. "

JUST

Is his fiction worth a go? Never heard much about the guy.

What does /lit/ think of WIll Self?

your'e in a bookshop with your girlfriend when this man thrusts a copy of his latest work Shark into her hands and slaps her ass.

What do you do?

Having dinner with him tomorrow night.

Any questions you have I'll be happy to pass on.

No shitposting.

I know this thread is unlikely to go as planned in light of the recent meme-ing but: Where do I start with Will Self?
