Book: "This is Burning Man"
With less than two weeks to go before the annual beglittered bacchanalia in Black Rock City begins, BoingBoing buddy Scott Beale says:
Link to This is Burning Man website, which includes Brian's ongoing book-blog. I've received a review copy, and thoroughly enjoyed it from cover to cover. Required reading for any BoingBoing readers heading to the playa -- or wishing they were, or wondering what the hell all the fuss is about.This is Burning Man is a new book about Burning Man written by our good friend Brian Doherty, who is based out of Los Angeles and is a senior editor at Reason magazine.
This is by far the most extensive historical account of Burning Man in print, as well the first book distributed through a major publisher (Little, Brown and Company). If you are on your way out to Black Rock City this year or even if you no longer attend, this book is a must read for anyone interested in the origins of Burning Man, the people involved and how the event is organized, operates, survives and grows.
