The stream-of-consciousness novel continues the story of psychiatrist Zack Busner.
Writing for The Sunday Herald, Todd McEwan wrote: "You begin to realise that this is not art, and it’s not even satire. It’s just stuff that oozes out of a writer who is floundering in the tar pit of the establishment.[2] Jon Day, writing for The Guardian, noted: "Phone isn't an attempt to inhabit the language of modernism but an attempt to exhaust a style. There's still plenty of fun to be had spotting references to Self's lodestars...It'll take you a couple of weeks to read all three novels properly. But I can't think of a better way to spend your time."[3]
