Ghosts of My Life: Writings on Depression, Hauntology and Lost Futures by Mark Fisher

3.0

Fisher is always worth reading for the fascinating connections he makes between aspects of culture and the hypotheses he derives from those connections. This collection of old blog posts and short essays, however, is not among his most satisfying works. Interesting for those of us who grew up in the time of TV’s ‘Sapphire and Steel’, who idolized the band ‘Joy Division’, and who have a soft spot for Derrida’s ‘hauntology’, but I can’t imagine it saying much to anyone not having gone through that period.
