Book summary


Between 1951 and his death in 1989, Edward Abbey amassed 21 volumes of his personal journals. This collection of excerpts constitutes an autobiography, chronicling his youthful travels, the gradual evolution of his obsessive love for the American West, his romances and marriages, the genesis of many of his writing projects, and his activities as a cantankerous but influential environmental gadfly.


Media reviews


"...Abbey at his most passionate, thoughtful, petty, bitter and angry. Abbey's life is worth studying if only as an example of the full range of human emotions."
