Self & I charts Matthew De Abaitua’s experience living and working as Will Self’s assistant in a remote cottage in Suffolk in the 1990s. Self is a newly-divorced enfant terrible of the British literary scene. De Abaitua is an eager young writer keen to learn from one of his literary heroes. The memoir is a frank and often very funny account of a remarkable time in Britain and British literature. Editor-at-large Scott Pack acquired UK and Commonwealth rights (excluding serial and audiobook) from Sarah Such at Sarah Such Literary Agency.
Announced at Frankfurt Book Fair 2017, congratulations to Matthew De Abaitua whose memoir Self & I - a Memoir of Literary Ambition has been acquired by Scott Pack, Editor-In-Chief of Eye Books.
