Will Self

“If this were a movie—and a central conceit of the book is that the movies and Hollywood have failed us—it would be a David Lynch production. . . . Being inside his various heads [is] an exciting, if occasionally alarming, experience.” —Hugh Thompson, The Independent (UK)

One of the most remarkably inventive voices of his generation, author Will Self delivers a new and stunning work of fiction. In Walking to Hollywood, a British writer named Will Self goes on a quest through L.A. freeways and eroding English cliffs, skewering celebrity as he attempts to solve a crime: who killed the movies.
