She makes Lawrence live and breathe, annoy and captivate you . she conjures the past with such clarity and wit and flair that it feels utterly present Katherine RundellA brilliantly unconventional biography, passionately researched and written with a wild, playful energy Richard HolmesD H Lawrence is no longer censored, but he is still on trial  and we are still unsure what the verdict should be, or even how to describe him.History has remembered him, and not always flatteringly, as a nostalgic modernist, a sexually liberator, a misogynist, a critic of genius, and a sceptic who told us not to look in his novels for the old stable ego, yet pioneered the genre we now celebrate as autofiction. But where is the real Lawrence in all of this, and how  one hundred years after the publication of Women in Love  can we hear his voice above the noise?Delving into the memoirs of those who both loved and hated him most, Burning Man follows Lawrence from the peninsular underworld of Cornwall in 1915 to postwar Italy to the mountains of New Mexico, and traces the authors footsteps through the pages of his lesser known work. Wilsons triptych of biographical tales present a complex, courageous and often comic fugitive, careering around a world in the grip of apocalypse, in search of utopia; and, in bringing the true Lawrence into sharp focus, shows how he speaks to us now more than ever.No biography of Lawrence that I have read comes close to Burning Man Ferdinand Mount, author of Kiss Myself GoodbyeThe most original voice in lifewriting today Lucasta Miller, author of Keats\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bloomsbury","offers":[{"title":"Wilson, Frances \/ hardcover","offer_id":47846770278645,"sku":"SONG1408893622","price":17.69,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/5804\/8501\/files\/91DGrS927sL.jpg?v=1773841443","url":"https:\/\/ergodebooks.com\/products\/burning-man-the-ascent-of-dh-lawrence","provider":"Ergodebooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
