"Novelist Will Self is to move onto the 20th floor of a tower block to write a short story and is inviting the public to come and watch him work."

"I think this is a fascinating period we are living through. The idea that this high modernist aesthetic and functionalist aesthetic is over...It is not necessarily something to mourn but to acknowledge."

I think it costs me 40 quid a week with heating, security and hot water included, and I get a great view.
