- Title:
- Will Self: The Book of Dave (author's notes)
- Scope & Content:
-
Various autograph notes, many of which are made on the versos of discarded printed material that includes Self's newspaper columns in draft and unrelated e-mail messages that are of incidental interest (e.g. messages from Jason Schone, Cressida Connolly, John Hillcoat).
The variety of material concerning the novel (some of which has 'post-it' notes attached) includes notes on thematic linkage between chapters, glossary matters ('Nomenclature' and 'Nick's Slang'), taxi tariffs, 'Fathers 4 Justice'.
Also included, an e-mail exchange between Self and taxi-driver Harry Harris (2 Feb 2005) about: regularity of medical examinations for cab drivers; where the 'six-mile radius' is measured from (Charing Cross); and where meters are recalibrated (Docklands).
