Description
Egress On Mourning, Melancholy and the Fisher-Function explores the work and legacy of Mark Fisher, a writer and cultural critic whose ideas continue to shape contemporary thought. This book is a personal and philosophical reflection on Fisher's life and work, set against the backdrop of his death in 2017.
Through an analysis of Fisher's writing, from his early days as a PhD student at the University of Warwick to his unfinished book on Acid Communism, Egress examines the politics of death and community. The author draws on personal experience and cultural criticism to explore themes that are both deeply personal and universally relevant.
By considering the word "egress" - a concept introduced by Fisher in his book The Weird and the Eerie - this book offers a unique perspective on the ways in which we respond to loss and adversity. With its thoughtful and introspective approach, Egress On Mourning, Melancholy and the Fisher-Function is a thought-provoking exploration of our shared human experiences.
