Disaster Mon Amour - by David Thomson (Hardcover)

Disasters are a part of our lives, whether we like it or not.

But have you ever stopped to think about why we're so drawn to them? In "The Disaster Show," David Thomson delves into the nature of disaster and how it shapes our understanding of ourselves and the world around us.

This book is a deep and darkly comic dive into the ways in which disasters have become a part of our collective psyche, and how we've come to rely on them to make sense of our place in the world. Through a series of engaging and thought-provoking essays, Thomson explores the relationship between disaster and art, from classic films like "Battleship Potemkin" to contemporary literature like Cormac McCarthy's "The Road." He examines how digital culture has commodified disaster, allowing us to witness chaos without suffering any of its aftereffects.

And he reveals why we're so drawn to watching disaster unfold, even when it happens to others. "The Disaster Show" is a must-read for anyone who's ever been fascinated by the darker side of human nature.

It's a thought-provoking and engaging exploration of the ways in which disaster shapes our understanding of ourselves and the world around us.
