Book Synopsis
The Burning Man Festival is a weeklong spasm of radical self-expression held annually just before Labour Day since 1986. In late August 2003, more than 33,000 participants converged in Nevada's Black Rock Desert for this counterculture event staged as an experiment in temporary community. Both Lee Gilmore and Mark Van Proyen have attended Burning Man annually since 1996.
