A unique insight into some of the strangest stories this world has to offer. Bizarrism is a collection of strange-but-true tales, featuring a grand parade of eccentrics, visionaries, crackpots, cult leaders, artists, theorists and outsiders of every stripe. First published in 1999, this new, fully revised and expanded edition revisits a host of unique individuals. Mikul celebrates these characters for their fabulous weirdness. For him, they are 'beacons of shining if erratic brilliance in a world of sensible conformity.'
