From there the book dissolves into general cultural criticism. He does a good job defining both the weird is something that is not supposed to be there, the eerie has to do with an unexpected presence or absence. As promised, the book is indeed about the states of weirdness and eeriness. Sadly, this is not as good as CR, it’s much more plain. I’ve read his most famous book, CAPITALIST REALISM, which does deserve the hype, it’s really good and punchy and interesting, as well as some of his blog writing and parts of the book he was working on when he died, called, intriguingly, ACID COMMUNISM (more on the idea of an acid communism in a future review), but this is the second full book of his I’ve read. Mark Fisher only seems to be getting more and more popular as the years since his suicide roll on, so I felt it was only appropriate to dip my toes back in. ![]()
