Description
Liver is a moving, hilarious and scabrous collection of stories by Booker-shortlisted author Will Self, examining egos, appetites and addictions. These tales of lives out of control showcase Self's daring, inventive, high-concept style. Praised by critics as peculiar, subtle, affecting and humane, it will appeal to readers of Martin Amis, Irvine Welsh and David Mitchell.
