Dean Kuipers talks with author Will Self whose “best research tools are his feet.”

“In fact, he wanted to walk all the way to his hotel in downtown Los Angeles [from LAX], a distance of more than 17 miles, where he was staying a few days to talk about his new book, Psychogeography. The book is a series of short pieces about his use of walks as a literary-cum-political practice in the spirit of the dérive – ‘drifting’ in the French -- a perceptual and experiential technique endorsed by Situationist radical Guy Debord in 1958.” – from “Will Self Takes Purposeful Strides,” by Dean Kuipers, Los Angeles Times
