Brethren all,
This week starts the public relations blitz ahead of Dan Brown's new novel, The Lost Symbol. The novel apparently deals with Freemasonry and is centered in Washington D.C. Anyone with an internet connection and a search engine knows there are numerous Masonic connections to D.C. , some real, some imagined. No doubt Brown will stretch imagination further with his new book.
In celebration of the book, The Washington Post offers an article on the book and a photo tour of Masonic D.C. The photos feature shots of the Washington Masonic Memorial and shots of the House of the Temple. Very nice indeed.
Masons in D.C. are gearing up for a huge spike in tourism similar to that seen in France after Brown's previous book, The DaVinci Code. The House of the Temple are getting ready to double their number of tour guides to cope with the expected surge of tourists.
The book is released in the US on 15th September. You can go to the author's web site and see an animated swirl of nonsensical symbols, but nothing at all about the book. Enjoy!
