These eloquent meditations, philosophical musings, and whimsical doodles offer us the clearest window into the soul of this American literary legend.
Few have cared more about American wilderness than the irascible Cactus Ed. Author of eco-classics such as
The Monkey Wrench Gang
and
Desert Solitaire
, Edward Abbey reveals all his rough-hewn edges and passionate beliefs in this witty, outspoken, maddening, and sometimes brilliant selection of journal entries that takes the writer from his early years as a park ranger and would-be literary author up to his death in 1989. Everything is here: the acute wit, the searing cynicism, and the lyrical, effortless prose. This new edition features an interview with his friend and editor David Petersen in which Abbey speaks candidly about his own work, his approach to writing, and technique. Original sketches made by Abbey himself and a detailed index are also included.
