Customer Reviews
Thoughtful and insightful from a unique voice.
Although not Fisher’s most famous book, Ghosts of My Life is undoubtedly one of his best, and includes much if his theories on ‘hauntology’.
A considered examination of life, and mental health under late stage capitalism, Mark illustrates his ideas through the lens one of his great passions, music.
His frank, and at times poignant, discussion of depression is some of the best writing on this topic, approached with characteristic sincerity and clarity.
