Psychogeography

Will Self

illustrated by Ralph Steadman

Psychogeography is a dazzling collaboration between award-winning writer Will Self and legendary gonzo illustrator Ralph Steadman that explores the effects that the physical environment has on the emotions and behaviours of individuals.

In a series of short essays, Self examines the compromised realities we experience when travelling long distances using modern modes of transportation. To combat these “wind-screen-based realities,” he decides to travel the world on foot.

His journey takes him from swimming in the Ganges to surfing on a tsunami to walking from London to New York. In Psychogeography, Self and Steadman create a dazzling work that is both a map of our world and a psychoanalysis of the way we inhabit it.

WILL SELF (London) is the acclaimed author of The Quantity Theory of Insanity, Great Apes, The Book of Dave and Undivided Self.

RALPH STEADMAN (London) is a renowned illustrator, cartoonist and political and social satirist.
