Dark Ecology . Timothy Morton . Although the author makes reference to the “ Blade Runner ” protagonist Deckard , who goes on an oedipal quest to realize that he is the one who is being hunted . The same thing occurs in Alan Parquer ’ s dark
and geometric thriller “ The Angel ’ s Heart ,” in which a young Mickey Rourke expertly portrays the investigator Harry Angel . In short , we are talking about the outline of the helical figure in which the ecological conscience currently finds itself . This book aims to enlighten us in a radical self-knowledge , obscuring the preconceived and melancholic ideas we have about the environment to the point of turning them into a somber game . Morton holds the Rita Shea Guffey Chair of English Language at Rice University in Houston and has written essays on philosophy , ecology , literature , music , art , architecture and even gastronomy .
