About This Item
US: Milkweed Editions, 2009. Paperback. Very Good. A copy that has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. "But hell, I do like to write letters. Much easier than writing books." And write letters Edward Abbey--"the Thoreau of the American West" (Washing ton Post)--did. At once incendiary and insightful, cantankerous and profoun dly perceptive, Abbey was a singular American writer and cult hero, as famo us for books like Desert Solitaire and The Monkey Wrench Gang as he was inf amous for the persona of "Cactus Ed." A true iconoclast with a rich sense o f humor, his polemics and salvos--Wallace Stegner once likened Abbey to the "stinger of a scorpion"--were not limited to any one arena. Abbey's postcards and letters, legendary during his lifetime, convey the fullness of the man and reveal, along with his wisdom and savage wit, a tender side seldom seen before. For readers new to Abbey, this collection is an awe-inspiring introduction to the man and his works. And for devoted fans, the letters chronicle his evolution as an authentic American voice in the wilderness.
