'There is a lot of the attention-grabber in Will Self, and in his prose ... Brings home how daft, compelling and dirty sex can be, all at the same time' Nicholas Lezard, Independent on Sunday 'His technique is dazzling, packed with wicked wit and and sparkling invention. Cock and Bull is scabrously brilliant stuff' Time Out 'These stories of transexual metamorphoses and hermaphroditic intercourse are likely to provoke demented laughter of a degree that may knock your socks off' Evening Standard 'Imagine a film of Kafka's Metamorphosis, scripted by William Burroughs and shot by David Cronenburg and you would have Cock and Bull: two novellas, mirrors of each other, both attempting entry to a "a twilight zone" ... pure delight to verbal perverts everywhere' Sunday Times
Two supremely skewed novellas that comprehensively challenge our ideas and assumptions about masculinity and femininity
