Matt Colquhoun

Egress is the first book to consider the legacy and work of the writer, cultural critic and cult academic Mark Fisher. Narrated in orbit of his death as experienced by a community of friends and students in 2017, it analyses FisherÕs philosophical trajectory, from his days as a PhD student at the University of Warwick to the development of his unfinished book on Acid Communism. Taking the word ÒegressÓ as its starting pointÑa 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 fictionÑEgress considers the politics of death and community in a way that is indebted to FisherÕs own forms of cultural criticism, ruminating on personal experience in the hope of making it productively impersonal.
