About This Book

An anti-hero to beat them all, John Self is a dissipated connoisseur of self-gratification. Addicted to porn, fast-food and money, he lives a culture-less high-life in New York and London, groping his way through a world of all-day hangovers, barely remembered debaucheries and desires that are both pointless and insatiable.
