    why criticize this? I am not a huge Self fan...but him talking about Ballard's influence is very very fair...and it seems that Ballard and his enormous talent is certainly being forgotten and far too quickly...

      ​@joe curtin To rephrase:
      Recommend the best works by each of the writers:
      Carl Jung, Joseph Campbell, Will Self and J. G. Ballard.
      It appears that this request was intended to authenticate your credibility.
      Calling Campbell a rip-off is flippant. Jung was inaccessible to a lot of readers and Campbell served as a distillation of definitions. See: A Skeleton Key to Finnegans Wake for more Campbell distillations.

      @joe curtin Ah, I see. You're one of those pretentious sort of individuals. I find it astonishing that you failed to see that I was re-contextualising a comment by someone else that you evidently misunderstood. I simply should not have expected more from a vacuous dilettante.

      Set the bar higher. Self is a bum.

      Dai Thomas Its just the tone of his voice. He actually says interesting things. Some folk, myself included if I am honest, are cursed with a 'hollow tone'. We have therefore two choices: call center or COE vicar.
