Book summaryThis 1971 novel, one of Abbey's own favorites, is about a 30-something professor named Will Gatlin who gives us his job, leaves his wife, and heads for the Rocky Mountains to become a fire ranger. Widely considered to be autobiographical, the novel is one of Abbey's most romantic and lyrical. Media reviews"Now comes a fine novel (actually Abbey's fourth), which is as simple and slim as a fable, haunting and sweet. I was afraid it might seem like a come-down [Desert Solitaire] but it does not....[This] is not a masterpiece like the other book. It's a treat, a light, indeterminate book, a stopover, almost perfectly written but with the beginning and the end left untold, in a career that should be more talked of." |
