Will Self - "The South Bank Show" 1/5 

Thank you so much JamesBurrTV for posting this South Bank Show interview with Will Self. I hadn't seen it since it was first broadcast in the 1990s. He is still so inspring.

I have been a fan of his fiction writing for many years. Much of It is wicked funny.

amaster writer is Will, kind, empathic, and loving.

a modern genius, i am very glad he writes so that i can share some of his wonderful mind.

i wish they would make another one with Will

If you can smell it from that far away, it's probably you.

Is Will staying in the house from Father Ted??

Will Self wrote ''How the Dead live'' (with its ''North London Book of the Dead''), and E.J.Gold wrote ''An American Book of the Dead.'' The Bardo Thodol (Tibetan Book of the Dead) seems to inspire western writers ideas.

I like the idea of being ''ontologically queesy.'' :)

There's not one thing that I don't like about Will Self. Yes, the long words can get annoying sometimes but it doesn't take much to have a dictionary at your bosom when reading him!

Can someone tell me what music is playing in the background?

Well, considering The Darkness and Will Young got their own episode, any fucker can.

@Powell101 And yet a cow eating a baby chicken really piques your interest.. Thanks for your contribution.

Still nobody know the music in this?

An intelligent man who seems compulsively pre-occupied with making sure everybody knows it. His recent broadside against George Orwell reveals a small minded man who, with militant fervency, believes in the sycophants who praise his every word without ever stopping to think about what has just been said. However, I must admit that the 'Book of Dave' is a very funny and interesting book that effortlessly straddles the tightrope separating the sublime and the fantastical.

@SalutationToTheDawn He says 'mondial'. (relating to / involving the whole world).

Did they? - shock horror! oh well perhaps the death of the south bank show is not such a bad thing after all if they had to lower themselves to that level.

I like him,if only for the fact we,re the same height

I rather like this candid fucker.

@pillajadud What do you mean, "Karl Pilkington owned him"? I actually felt quite embarrased for Karl, as likeable as he is, you can't say that he isn't naive. For a man to not know who Tony Benn is at his age is not something to be proud of. Despite his rather spiky media persona, in person Will Self is the very paragon of decorum.

Yeah, he's far too up himself. What with being on Shooting stars and everything.

@adam0900909 fry is a clunk because he has permitted his media fame to go to his head and has been informed by various other media clunks generating non media that fry is a tech expert and witty dude on QI. remember i was responding to the quote.

@adam0900909 the man is primarily a comedian I dont think he is trying to seem intelligent in some egotistical way i think we is just trying.. and succeeding to be a good comedian
