We recently sat down with Assistant Professor Andrew Gipe-Lazarou to discuss his new book, “Weird-Fictional Narratives in Art, Architecture, and the Urban Domain”.

This volume presents a rational demystification of irrational cultural expressions, with the dual intention of being used as both an academic reference and a popular guide into the realm of chimeric cultural visions. It analyzes the correlation of urban mythologies and their concurrent cultural paradigms, tracing the impact of the collective subconscious through literature, comic-strips, cinematography, music, architecture, and art.

The book can be bought on Cambridge Scholars Publishing - https://www.cambridgescholars.com/product/978-1-0364-0776-6
