The Quantity Theory of Morality

In "The Quantity Theory of Morality," Booker-shortlisted author Will Self crafts a darkly comedic exploration of modern life’s collective morality through the lens of middle-class, middle-English characters ensnared in endless, superficial conversations. As the narrative unfolds, a chilling remark shatters the veneer of civility, leading to a sharp critique of societal norms and the alienation of everyday existence. This sequel to his award-winning debut, "The Quantity Theory of Insanity," showcases Self's signature blend of satire and humor, ultimately revealing a poignant truth about the scarcity of goodness in contemporary life.
