Reviews

"Praise the earth for Edward Abbey." --Los Angeles Times Book Review "Abbey can attain a kind of glory in his writing. He takes scenes that have been well-traveled by other writers and recreates them as traditional American myth." --The New York Times Book Review "We are living...among punishments and ruins. For those who know this, Edward Abbey's books remain an indispensable solace." --Wendell Berry "He is the voice of all that is ornery and honorable." --Alice Hoffman
