In memory of his parents, the author here creates what is described as an "anti-art book." Over two hundred photographs of his mother's paintings and drawings are shown without once mentioning her name (thus emphasizing, in his view, the peculiar relationships between commerce, art, vanity, creativity, egotism, cultural elitism, mental illness, and social insanity). The text, while highly opinionated and iconoclastic, flows easily with the photos and provides an interesting impression of what his parents valued in art and in their lives. Apparently, Burning Man is also about someone's Burning Mom.
