Phone is a major new work from one of England’s most acclaimed and highly regarded contemporary writers. Umbrella was shortlisted for the 2012 Man Booker Prize and Shark received praise from the New York Times, Washington Post, NPR, and the New Yorker.
Phone has been published in the UK to some of the best reviews in Self’s career—the New Statesman called Phone “one of the most significant literary works of our century” and the Daily Telegraph described it as “an epic anti-tweet”—and we expect a similar response on this side of the Atlantic.
We will pitch pieces regarding the completion of the trilogy to various media outlets; this third and final volume is an ideal opportunity for people to write career retrospectives on Self.
Self continues to be a public intellectual in the UK, where he has recently spoken on matters including Brexit and the election of Donald Trump.
Academic outreach to professors of English Literature who are interested in modernism and the contemporary novel.
Outreach for endorsements or support at events to Martin Amis, Zadie Smith, and others.
Self recently wrote an introduction to Gregor Hens’s well-received Nicotine (Other Press).
We now have fourteen books by Self on our backlist, a robust collection. Umbrella sold 11,000 copies in the U.S. We have another book under contract from Self and are committed to increasing his readership here.
