Psychogeography

Provocateurs Will Self and Ralph Steadman join forces in this post-millennial meditation on the vexed relationship between psyche and place in a globalised world, bringing together for the first time the very best of their ''Psychogeography'' columns for the Independent.

The introduction, ''Walking to New York'', is both a prelude to the verbal and visual essays that make up this extraordinary collaboration, and a revealing exploration of the split in Self''s Jewish-American-British psyche and its relationship to the political geography of the post-9/11 world.

Ranging from the Scottish Highlands to Istanbul and from Morocco to Ohio, Will Self''s engaging and disturbing vision is perfectly counter-pointed by Ralph Steadman''s edgy and beautiful artwork.
