Dale Pendell - Inspired Madness: The Gifts of Burning Man

Title: Inspired Madness: The Gifts of Burning Man
Description: Frog, Ltd. Berkeley, 2006. First Edition, Softcover. New Book. 9781583941720 20cm x 14cm. [x], 110 pages, black and white illustrations. Illustrated wrappers. "In part a nonfiction discussion of the Burning Man festival, in part a poetic romp through Nevada's Black Rock desert, Inspired Madness is both an irreverent introduction for those curious about the notorious event and an exhilarating reminiscence for veteran "burners." Loosely structured around a week at Burning Man, the book combines a history of the festival with personal stories and social commentary, juxtaposing images and stories to capture a sense of the wild and unpredictable nature of life on the Playa. Throughout the week, readers are taken on a memorable ride, exploring the festival itself and meeting Owl, an eccentric beatnik and one of the organizers of the Delphic Delirium Camp: Lolo, Jah, Scarlett, and other larger-than-life figures. Interweaving dialogue, anecdotes, and stream-of-consciousness narrative with historical, sociological, and political observation, Inspired Madness evokes the half-waking, half-dreaming quality of the Burning Man experience."
