Review
"If a manic J.G. Ballard and a depressed David Lodge got together, they might produce something like The Quantity Theory of Insanity. But Will Self's world is all his own; it is both exotic and institutionalized, full of dread and dowdiness and entirely unsuspected comedy." --Martin Amis
"The outright excellence of this book cannot be denied. The Quantity Theory of Insanity is of such high caliber that it could strike a new literary rivalry between the U.K. and the United States." --Los Angeles Reader

If such a theory exists then surely Mr. Self himself is hording quite a bit
By John Thompson
The sheer volume of fantastic ideas contained in this collection of short fiction sets one's neural bulb a-boggle.
The story on the theory of waiting alone, will have you pondering your very existence, to such a degree of mind-numbing scrutiny that a painstaker will think you're persnickty.
Admittedly there are quite a few tangential stories that take you so far off the beaten path that you soon begin to wonder what exactly it is that your reading other than a random series of words, broken by sharp wit, and cunning humor.
But, many stories throughout, will a- and be-muse you.
Keep a dictionary close at hand.

Impressive, almost inspiring
By James F
Will Self's 'The Quantity Theory of Insanity' overflows with (unsurprisingly) dark humor mixed with academic flair. The stories often seem to lack a clear and definitive finishing point, as if one is reading a manuscript of a story half-written. This, of course, may be a purposeful attempt; that by not offering conclusion, Will Self is in essense prodding the reader into personal deliberation over the concepts presented. Unfortunately, if this be the case, these same concepts have seen so much activity in modern psychology that for the author to not thoroughly conclude his own insights leads one not into pondering personal beliefs in the matter, but what the author might have been trying to convey. A fruitless task as Self, undoubtedly, tries to be as enigmatic as possible.
Luckily Self's mastery of language and metaphor, even during points where one might feel unsatisfied with the content, makes this book hard to put down. He easily achieves the daunting task of having a work sopping with verbose floridity while still being both easily readable and completely coherent. The development of his characters and concepts is quite clear and clean, an intimidating feat while having to develop both observations as well as descent into 'madness' on the same pages. Self is able to portray lunacy with impecable flair, often times the feeling of madness transposing itself from prose to reader with every turn of the page.
'The Quantity Theory of Insanity' should be read for it's unequaled portrayals of the subject matter as well as the interesting, albeit fragmentary, social commentary. Positions and answers however, should not be sought here.

Excellent leap into the absurd and the insane
By Benjamin Scott
Though in no terms a work on par with the quality of Will Self's later efforts (re: Grey Area) Quantity Theory is a thoroughly engrossing anthology. From the outrageous Ur-Bororo to the insanity that was the development and application of the Quantity Theory to the subtle oddities of the North London Book of the Dead, Self's pen delves into deeper realms of consciousness and brings to light certain outlandish traits of humanity.
Will Self is a brilliant writer with a vocabulary which would make any dictionary less than the complete OED worthless and an intellect to match. His works illustrate a biting social commentary that may stem from his far superior intelligence or simply an uneasiness with the world (which very well may be the case; many of his stories centered on drugs or mental health).
The Quanitity Theory is a very good example of his work and a perfect entry into the writings of this strange but brilliant English author.
