"An illustrated monograph on the work of legendary writer/director David Cronenberg, master of body horror and cinematic provocateur behind films such as The Fly, Scanners, Naked Lunch, Eastern Promises, and Crimes of the Future."--Publisher information.
"Though dividing the book into two halves suggests a binary, the Jungian-inspired chapters within each emphasize that this work - and the world itself - is perpetually shifting. The reader progresses through these different stages (of Jungian individuation and therapy) and sees how the recurrent narrative, cultural, and visual themes loop back and intersect with one another. Rather than a straightforward narrative about a filmmaker, this book is a dreamlike exploration of all that is Cronenbergian." -- Adapted from publisher's description.
