An exploration of the work and legacy of Mark Fisher, one of the most influential and incendiary writers of our generation.

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 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

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.
