<b>An exploration of the work and legacy of Mark Fisher, one of the most influential and incendiary writers of our generation.</b><br><br>Egress is the first book to consider the legacy and work of the writer, cultural critic and cult academic Mark Fisher. <br><br>Narrated in orbit of his death as experienced by a community of friends and students in 2017, it analyses Fisher''s philosophical trajectory, from his days as a PhD student at the University of Warwick to the development of his unfinished book on Acid Communism. <br><br>Taking the word "egress" as its starting point--a word used by Fisher in his book The Weird and the Eerie to describe an escape from present circumstances as experiences by the characters in countless examples of weird fiction--Egress consider the politics of death and community in a way that is indebted to Fisher''s own forms of cultural criticism, ruminating on personal experience in the hope of making it productively impersonal.
