Inspired Writer!

"What is Burning Man?" Please read this book. This inspired work covers the modern-day history-making event with impressive conciseness and depth. Finish this delightful and philosophical "page-turner" and you'll walk away with the next best thing to being there. If you've never been, perhaps now you'll finally head straight for the Playa. If you've been once or many times, Pendell's work offers such refreshingly complete insight into this massive experience that this reader was reawakened from his slumber in the default world and transported Home once again. Thank you Dale.

More than just nostalgia-maintenance for Burners, however, this book provides a good socio-cultural analysis of Burning Man, allowing anyone a very real entryway into understanding what makes this art happening so special in today's times.

It's Not what you think.

This is a great book! It's an easy read, I loved it!
There's a lot of interesting food for thought in this book.
I wonder if I'll every stop thinking about Burning Man!

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.
