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.
