blog all purchases: Psychogeography by Merlin Coverley · 2008-05-03 17:56

Psychogeography is an overview of the… movement(?), feeling(?) that’s quite popular at the moment. Russell had mentioned the book to me, and, like him, I’m uncomfortable with publicly handling the hot potatoes and sharp minds mentioned in the book. For me, it filled in a lot of back story, particularly pre-Debord, and has acted as a reader, introducing me to the following books:

Journal of the Plague Year by Daniel Defoe
The Man of the Crowd (available in Selected Tales) by Edgar Allen Poe
A Tour through the Whole Island of Great Britain by Daniel Defoe
Things Near and Far by Arthur Machen
The London Adventure or the Art of Wandering by Arthur Machen
