‘Brilliantly original, Will Self is one of those rare writers whose imaginations change for ever the way we see the world'

JG Ballard

Steadman has always been one of my heroes

Raymond Briggs

Will Self and Ralph Steadman join forces once again in a further post-millennial meditation on the vexed relationship of psyche and place in a globalised world. Psycho Too brings together a second helping of their very best words and pictures from ‘Psychogeography', the columns they contributed to the Independent for half a decade. The introduction, ‘Journey Through Britain' is an extended essay about Self's journey, in fact, to Dubai, that Götterdämmerung of the contemporary built environment, in order to walk the length of the artificial Britain-shaped island, in the offshore luxury housing development known as ‘The World'. Ranging from Istanbul to Los Angeles and from the crumbling coastline of East Yorkshire to the adamantine heads of Easter Island, Self's engaging and disturbing vision is once again perfectly counter-pointed by Ralph Steadman's edgy and dazzling artwork.
