"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
