In Search of Lost Futures:
XG in Illness #01

My essay on Mark Fisher’s lost futures and the temporalities of mental illness has been published in the first edition of Illness, edited by Sam Kelly of the excellent Red Medicine podcast.

This is an essay I’ve been sitting on for a long time. A longer version — too long, really — was read out at the Moth Club in Hackney in late 2022 and the new version was given as a keynote lecture at the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México earlier this year. It has since also been published in Spanish translation here.

Illness also features essays by Hannah Proctor, Hannah Zeavin and an interview with Jules Gill-Peterson. You can buy it in meatspace from Housmans and the ICA Bookshop in London, and also Good Press in Glasgow.

I will update this post with an online purchase option when one materialises. Watch this space!
