Overview: Halloween in Isla Vista, an un-sponsored annual street party, attracted in its heyday an estimated average of 20,000 revelers into a minuscule, 1.5 square mile area each year. Dismissed and condemned by UCSB administrators, the police, and local press as a dangerous frivolity unworthy of critical inquiry, this complex carnivalesque event has remained buried under decades’ worth of rumor, assumption, and enforced silence. Until now.This book breaks that silence, exploring the event’s colorful history through archival sources and oral histories, and providing an in-depth reading of the event as a cultural performance with much to teach us about the liminal space between adolescence and adulthood that is college.

Took a moment to build, but the payoff was spectacular. Beautiful writing, though I craved slightly more depth in the lore. Still, undeniably engaging. A wonderful companion for a quiet weekend.
