LUKE’S BOOKS
• Luke’s books explore self and illusion, and
freedom and chance. He has dealt
particularly with the ways in which modern
western societies limit the spontaneity and
creativity of most humans. He sees reason
and seriousness as a form of mental
illness, a madness that seems to be
sweeping humankind towards a
civilizational and ecological disaster. And
makes it all seem funny as hell.
