3 mixes for this book

A jagged, city-hopping mix of ragtime, jazz, funk and electronic instrumentals evokes the moneyed bustle and media-saturated excess surrounding John Self. The vocal half swings between acquisitive bravado, compulsive appetite and the uneasy recognition that Self’s pleasures leave him empty, with tracks that echo the novel’s New York–London setting and its grotesque comedy.
