**Longlisted for the Baillie Gifford prize for non-fiction 2021** • **Shortlisted for the Duff Cooper prize 2021** • **Shortlisted for the James Tait black prize** • **Finalist for the 2022 Plutarch award** • D. H. Lawrence is no longer censored, but he is still on trial - and we are still unsure what the verdict should be • 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 post-war Italy to the mountains of New Mexico, and traces the author's footsteps through the pages of his lesser known work. Wilson presents 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
