A provocative look at the extraordinary annual Burning Man festival--held each year before Labor Day, and drawing thousands of people from all walks of life to the forbidding Black Rock Desert in Nevada--spotlights the radically self-reliant and vibrantly creative community that gathers for a week-long stay that culminates in the burning of a symbolic wooden man. The glamorous and anarchic aspects of the makeshift city--ideas that are at once ingenious and unimaginable in normal society--include a three-story temple composed of discarded dinosaur puzzle pieces, a giant flame-spewing metal-lotus flower, and a glowing white whale sailing over the starry desert sky. The magnificent spirit of a festival where money and spectators are not allowed is captured here, bringing a piece of the whimsical, strange, and enlightened energy to those who've never participated as well as to veterans wishing to reminisce.
