The Burning of Desire is an intimate and dramatic rendering of life in the United States, 1943-2023, in an epic cycle of eight books. It is one fateful man's odyssey through political, social and cultural upheaval and the all-pervading influences of movies, television, books, art, popular music, grand ideas, sexual confusion and drugs - everything that turned the life. It is the autobiography of a generation, not just because it honestly witnesses the turmoil of the country during those years, but because it illuminates how one soul, despite these influences and because of them, finds its way to fulfillment, wisdom and peace. The pivotal moment of the life happens center stage at the defining political assassination of the century, 1968. Hell, Book Five of The Burning of Desire, 1992-2000, finds our fool caught in a dark wood, trapped between the dream of what he's always wanted and the reality of the life he's made. But that's not a bad thing, right? Every fool finds himself there. Oh, cry for love, he said. That's the best way to cry.
