Jason ‘Jay’ Barry, Centennial, Colo. :: wrote a novel called Throttling the Bard that he describes as “Don Quixote meets Easy Rider.” In trouble with a student loan corporation for bilking the financial aid system in order to redistribute its wealth, an English professor takes a motorcycle ride across Nevada with a graduate student hoping for dissertation comments. Along the way they “encounter everyday Americana,” including a book burning cult, captivating women and Burning Man.
