Will Self Interviewed by Robin McGibbon (1/5)

[@TheDensley7]

Thank you very much for this - the man is brilliant.

[@lydia5489]

I discovered Will Self through Shooting Stars and I'm really glad I did. He's a mind I enjoy exploring in infinite degrees, so though he may hold that notoriety over his head, people like me discovered such an extraordinary person through such means.

McGibbon is a fine second name.

[@BelatedCommiseration]

Errr...he did actually mention that the guy might have been a commercial driver...so he did make that acknowledgment.

[@ashbash986]

yes, what he isn't taking into account is that for people with 9-5s, having a car can save valuable time and energy, which is normally always limited. much less of a necessity if you live close to central london and write at home for a living.

[@S7EVE_P]

Regarding cars he is wrong. It's the attitude that's the issue. And the location of course.

[@zetetick395]

Is that wallpaper a secondary effect of the _Inclusion_ trials?

[@elizebethjames]

or he was just answering the question that he was asked. fairly uncommon in our day and age, yes, but nevertheless, true.

[@sejlali1]

hmmmmmm.... come on will " all the car driver has to do to avoid parkingvfines is not drive.." how about the many people who drive for a living,their job!! how about the millions who have to drive due to the distances involved in journeys they have to make!! love w.self but bit of a flippant and not well thought out answer from one so intelligent!

[@elizebethjames]
