The Butt
by Will Self
🏆 Winner of the 2008 Bollinger Everyman Wodehouse Prize for Comic Fiction
In a moment of recklessness, Tom Brodzinksi flicks his last-ever cigarette butt off a balcony—hitting a man below and setting off a surreal chain of events that will soon find him trekking through the desert hinterlands of a war-torn country. A smart, satirical, speculative novel that divided critics on its release in 2008.
