Description
pp. 255, “Psychogeography is a dazzling collaboration between award-winning writer Will Self and legendary gonzo illustrator Ralph Steadman that explores the effects that the physical environment has on the emotions and behaviours of individuals.
In a series of short essays, Self examines the compromised realities we experience when travelling long distances using modern modes of transportation. To combat these “wind-screen-based realities,” he decides to travel the world on foot.
His journey takes him from swimming in the Ganges to surfing on a tsunami to walking from London to New York. In Psychogeography, Self and Steadman create a dazzling work that is both a map of our world and a psychoanalysis of the way we inhabit it.”
