Harare Review of Books

421 gorgeous pages.

Expected publication date: July 4, 2023 (Quarto Publishing Group – becker & mayer!)

Non-fiction.

I mostly paged through this for the gorgeous gorgeous pictures of large-scale public art, and it reminded me how much I want to go to Burning Man one day (I go to art galleries in every city I visit; so, a pre-existing lover of art). The mythology of Burning Man, however, is more than a little suspect to me, a little too close to religion, and the text of the book hews close to this.

This, though, is a wonderful book, managing to encapsulate what is so unique and amazing about Black Rock City and Burning Man, and covering the mythos, history and aims. Highly recommended.

Thank you to Quarto Publishing Group/becker & mayer! for access to this beautifully-done DRC.
