An exploration of the possibilities of letting go of our inner desire for control. It provides a challenge and an alternative to 'masterful' or technical approaches to theory. It draws on the power of poetry and fiction to help us think and puts this to work in the book's own practice of creative critical writing.
Without Mastery engages the pleasures and rigours of reading, invoking Shakespeare''s Weird Sisters, Plato''s Lady Necessity, Freud, Derrida, Cixous, animals, angels, ghosts and children to explore our desire for mastery - especially the omnipotence of thoughts. Masterful thinking has brought the planet into environmental crisis. The acquiescence of reading, Wood shows, allows us to make contact with the unthinkable.
