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, <i>Burning Man</i> 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.<b>''A work of art in its own right'' <i>OBSERVER</i></b><b>''Utterly enthralling'' GEOFF DYER</b><b>''Brilliantly unconventional'' RICHARD
