Description

Erik Davis explores the codes people use to escape their lives and enrich their experience of the world. These include spiritual traditions from Asia, West African trickster gods, Western occult lore, postmodern theory, psychedelic science, and festival scenes like Burning Man. Davis writes with a keen yet skeptical sympathy, intellectual subtlety, and wit, as he delves into collage art, "magickal realism", and other subjects. His work navigates the boundaries between anthropology, mystical pulp, cultural criticism, and extraordinary experience, creating an ambiguous landscape that demands a flexible approach. This collection of essays is known as "modern esoterica", a term that captures its essence: a no-man's-land where intellectual inquiry meets personal exploration.
