Et si le pire des hommes devenait le Messie ? Dave Rudman, chauffeur de taxi londonien, passe son temps, à fulminer contre les Noirs, les Juifs, les Arabes, les bourgeois ou les touristes. Il déverse son fiel dans des écrits qu'il enterre dans le jardin de son ex-femme, Michelle. Cinq siècles plus tard, après un terrible déluge, ses élucubrations sont retrouvées. Le " Livre de Dave " devient la référence spirituelle du Nouveau Monde. Dans l'archipel d'Ingleterre, en l'an 500 après Dave, la vie s'organise selon les paroles du prophète. Les hommes et les femmes vivent séparément, et parlent le mokni, argot modelé sur le jargon du chauffeur de taxi. Cet " Evangile selon Self " est une satire de la vie moderne. Les religions, le capitalisme, l'Histoire, le mariage, rien n'échappe à l'auteur de Mon idée du plaisir. Vrai-faux roman d'anticipation ou d'aventures, Le Livre de Dave est surtout un tour de force littéraire. Will Self invente une langue, un monde, mélange les genres et les influences avec une virtuosité impressionnante.

The Book of Dave is Booker-shortlisted author Will Self's dazzling sixth novel What if a demented London cabbie called Dave Rudman wrote a book to his estranged son to give him some fatherly advice? What if that book was buried in Hampstead and hundreds of years later, when rising sea levels have put London underwater, spawned a religion? What if one man decided to question life according to Dave? And what if Dave had indeed made a mistake? Shuttling between the recent past and a far-off future where England is terribly altered, The Book of Dave is a strange and troubling mirror held up to our times: disturbing, satirizing and vilifying who and what we think we are. At once a meditation upon the nature of received religion, a love story, a caustic satire of contemporary urban life and a historical detective story set in the far future - this compulsive novel will be enjoyed by readers everywhere, including fans of Martin Amis and Anthony Burgess's A Clockwork Orange. 'Vivid, visceral and breathtakingly ambitious, this is Self's best yet' GQ 'Mindboggling ... darkly hilarious ... A fascinating book' Evening Standard Will Self is the author of nine novels including Cock and Bull; My Idea of Fun; Great Apes; How the Dead Live; Dorian, an Imitation; The Book of Dave; The Butt; Walking to Hollywood and Umbrella, which was shortlisted for the Man Booker Prize. He has written five collections of shorter fiction and three novellas: The Quantity Theory of Insanity; Grey Area; License to Hug; The Sweet Smell of Psychosis; Design Faults in the Volvo 760 Turbo; Tough, Tough Toys for Tough, Tough Boys; Dr. Mukti and Other Tales of Woe and Liver: A Fictional Organ with a Surface Anatomy of Four Lobes. Self has also compiled a number of nonfiction works, including The Undivided Self: Selected Stories; Junk Mail; Perfidious Man; Sore Sites; Feeding Frenzy; Psychogeography; Psycho Too and The Unbearable Lightness of Being a Prawn Cracker.

"The Book of Dave is a misogynistic, racist, homophobic rant, written by a demented London cabbie, buried in November 2001 in the Hampstead garden of his hated ex-wife and addressed to the son he idealizes rather than fathers." "Several centures pass and, as sea levels rise, the only land left in central London becomes the isolated isle of Ham. There, the Six Families scratch a meagre living from the land. Their lives, however, are full of religion. For Dave's book has been disinterred and transformed into Holy Scripture. The peasants know his text by heart. The doctrines of Breakup and Changeover are rigid and absolute. Only one islander, Symun, remains incredulous. Rather than finding certainty in the Book and its Knowledge, he finds only questions. Desperate to discover answers, Symun embarks on an epic journey into the Forbidden Zone, and eventually to the terrifying heart of New London." "Will Self's fifth novel is at once a profound meditation upon the nature of revealed religion, a love story, a caustic satire of contemporary urban life and a historical detective story set in the far future."--BOOK JACKET.

When East End cabdriver Dave Rudman's wife takes from him his only son, Dave pens a gripping text--a compilation about everything from the environment, Arabs, and American tourists to sex, Prozac, and cabby lore--that captures all of his frustrations and anxieties about his contemporary world. Dave buries the book in his ex-wife's Hampstead backyard, intending it for his son, Carl, when he comes of age. Five hundred years later, Dave's book is found by the inhabitants of Ham, a primitive archipelago in post-apocalyptic London, where it becomes a sacred text of biblical proportions and the template for a new civilization. Only one islander, Symum, remains incredulous. But, after he is imprisoned for heresy, his son Carl must journey through the Forbidden Zone and into the terrifying heart of New London to find the only thing that will reveal the truth once and for all: a second Book of Dave that repudiates the first. "The Book of Dave" is a profound meditation upon the nature of religion and a caustic satire of contemporary life.

Un auteur de renom nous montre comment déjouer les conseils permanents, cesser d'essayer d'être "parfait" tout le temps pour atteindre notre plein potentiel et être plus heureux. La vie est pavée de conseils pour que vous puissiez agir, vous comporter et faire les choses parfaitement, en imitant des mentors. Il y a donc des juges et des prophètes partout, qui vous disent si vous réussirez dans la vie, si vous excellerez dans votre carrière et ainsi de suite. Mais Dave vous indique une vérité rafraîchissante : vous pouvez diriger vous-même votre destin. Son livre, ''Comment réaliser vos rêves et vos objectifs'' est son antidote à la complaisance et l'absence de sentiment qui ont infecté le monde et reconfiguré une génération. Ce livre est de grande valeur. Dave n'est pas d'accord avec l'idée, corroborée à la fois par des recherches historiques et des exemples bien choisis, que les personnes qui réussissent dépendent de la capacité de leurs parrains et des personnes bien informées à prédire leur destin avec précision. Pour lui, il faut apprendre à se découvrir soi-même et à rester concentré sur ses rêves. Tous les êtres humains ont des faiblesses et des défauts, des succès et des échecs, des hauts et des bas. Nous ne pouvons pas tous devenir grands et exceptionnels. Mais c'est catastrophique quand la direction naturelle de notre vie est changée. Dave nous conseille de procéder à une étude approfondie de nous-mêmes pour commencer à être juste envers notre avenir. Une fois que c'est fait, agissez conformément à votre personnalité et arrêtez de remettre votre destin entre les mains d'autres personnes, qu'il s'agisse de vos pairs, de vos parents, de vos professeurs, etc.

Em seu quinto romance, Will Self escreve de forma totalmente inovadora ao imaginar o que aconteceria daqui a 500 anos, num futuro pós-apocalíptico. AO contar duas histórias em paralelo, intercalando o presente a um futuro distante, o autor revela em O Livro de Dave a saga de um taxista alucinado pelas ruas de Londres e as aventuras de um menino em busca de seu verdadeiro pai. O Romance, um dos mais originais da atualidade, narra a trajetória de Dave Rudman, um motorista de táxi londrino que passa a maior parte de seu tempo vagando pelas ruas em seu carro malcheiroso, enquanto discursa dissimuladamente para os seus passageiros. DEpois de ser impedido pela ex-mulher de ver o filho, Dave escreve um livro em que glorifica um novo meio de vida: livre das esposas e dos males do mundo moderno, governado por uma nova ordem suprema - o Conhecimento dos taxistas. NUm acesso de loucura, ele enterra o livro no jardim de uma casa londrina. SÉculos mais tarde, porém, após uma catástrofe ambiental em que as cidades são submersas e a civilização, destruída, ele será descoberto pelos habitantes da remota ilha de Ham, que outrora fora parte de Londres. E O novo Conhecimento ditará as regras desse povo, devoto de Dave, criador do céu e da Terra. O Livro se tornará a obra sagrada de um povo escolhido, para o qual a "roda" é o símbolo supremo e os sacerdotes são chamados de "motoristas". WIll Self, ao criar a história de O Livro de Dave, imagina como seria se a Inglaterra não fosse mais uma sociedade judaico-cristã e seus habitantes seguissem a seita criada por Dave no século XXI, fazendo assim uma profunda meditação sobre a natureza das religiões e uma sátira corrosiva da vida nas grandes cidades. "Se houvesse uma inundação como essas, quem estaria em melhor posição para se lembrar de como essa grande cidade realmente foi? Com certeza não seria o prefeito, nem a rainha ou o primeiro-ministro. ELes, como todos nós, são apenas formigas no meio da confusão. NÃo, somente o taxista londrino (...) seria capaz de reconstruir a metrópole como ela foi um dia", diz o autor.

Some people lost their sense of proportion, others their sense of scale, but Simon Dykes, a middle-aged, successful London painter, has lost his sense of perspective in a most disturbing fashion. After a night of routine, pedestrian debauchery, traipsing from toilet to toilet, and imbibing a host of narcotics on the way, Simon wakes up cuddled in his girlfriend’s loving arms. Much to his dismay, however, his girlfriend has turned into a chimpanzee. To add insult to injury, the psychiatric crash team sent to deal with him as he flips his lid is also comprised of chimps. Indeed, the entire city is overrun by clever primates, who, when they are not jostling for position, grooming themselves, or mating some of the females, can be found driving Volvos, hanging out on street corners, and running the world. Nonetheless convinced that he is still a human, Simon is confined to the emergency psychiatric ward of Charing Cross Hospital, where he becomes the patient of Dr. Zack Busner, clinical psychologist, medical doctor, anti-psychiatrist, and former television personality—an expert at the height of his reign as alpha male. As Busner attempts to convince him that “everyone who is fully sentient in this world are chimpanzees,” Simon struggles with the horrifying delusion that he is really a human trapped in a chimp’s body. Written with the same brilliant satiric wit that has distinguised Self’s earlier fiction, Great Apes is a hilarious, often disturbing, and absolutely original take on man’s place in the evolutionary chain. In a strange and twisted tale that recalls Jonathan Swift and Franz Kafka’s Metamorphosis, Will Self’s comic genius is impossible to ignore.
