Re: Re. Mark Fisher: The Weird And The Eerie

I was very sorry to hear the news about Mark Fisher (K-punk).

His short book Capitalist Realism, which I only read very recently, is a poignant meditation on the sorrows and melancholy of late-capitalist society.

His collection of cultural musings, Ghosts of My Life: Writings on Depression, Hauntology and Lost Futures will appeal to many here, I think.

"The iniquity of oblivion blindly scatters her poppy seed and when wretchedness
falls upon us one summer’s day like snow, all we wish for is to be forgotten." - WG Sebald
