Will Self doesn’t hold the popular or “prevailing” view of the Olympics being held in the UK. In this segment of the interview we can notice multiple characteristics of Self. He is an assertive, rational, proud, intelligent, and dominating voice in this debate. Self’s aggressively straight-forward and to-the-point personality is echoed in his writing. He isn’t afraid to step on toes or make others feel uncomfortable, rather Self is more concerned with elucidating his point or perspective. Unabashedly honest, we hear Self’s loud voice in Cock and Bull, and we hear it quite clearly. The narration lucidly guides the reader like a motion picture camera guides our eyes in a scene. Self illuminates only what we need to see or know. Leaving out the unnecessary, I find my self charmed by Self’s writing. Not really know what’s going to happen next, Self’s tone never lets skip a sentence. It keeps me flawlessly on track, each sentence seducing me to the next one. Without a doubt, Will Self has a way with words. And I’m not too sure what it is, but it has the terrifying ability to pull me in and never let go.
