# Will: A Memoir - Hardcover

by **Will Self** (Author)

Unflinching, intoxicating, heartfelt, and propelled by an exceptional energy, _Will_ is the long-awaited memoir by Will Self, whose works have been shortlisted for the Booker Prize and translated into over twenty languages. A portrait of the artist as a young addict, _Will_ is one of the most eloquent and unusual depictions of the allure of hard drugs ever written.

_Will_ spins the reader from Self's childhood in a quiet North London suburb to his mind-expanding education at Oxford, to a Burroughsian trip to Morocco, an outback vision in Australia, and, finally, a surreal turn in rehab. Echoing the great Modernist writers of the early twentieth century in its psychedelic stream of consciousness, _Will_ is vividly imagistic and mordantly witty. It is both kunstlerroman and confessional, a tale of excess and degradation, a karmic cycle that leads back to the author's own lack of . . . will.
