I sometimes feel sorry for Will Self, but something about him just makes for a brilliant target. The comments under basically anything he does are full of people savouring every slip, every misstep.
"Yes you're right. He devotes several sentences to describing the famous shot and completely gets it wrong, as you can see from the clip included with the article. And he gushes about how his work is inter-related with cinema, as opposed to those over-literary novelists, who people respect and stuff. I don't think I've ever seen such a self-congratulatory self-serving piece written by a novelist. And, he makes a complete fool of himself in the process. Hilarious."
