I went to hear Mr. Self read from a novel years ago and a woman in the audience claimed that his parents must have named his thusly because it was “self will” backwards. He assured her that they didn’t but she was quite insistent and kept telling him of his own parents’ intentions for the next five minutes.

Much as I liked The Butt it was far more grotesquely comic than the actual novel.

Then there’s the fact you never see them together. Not to mention their both speaking with the same strong Yorkshire accent.
