Return to Harold's Planet Patriot Home Page Edward Abbey Recommended Books Desert Solitaire I just cannot say this delicately: you cannot be a Planet Patriot without having read this book! His other books are great too, but Desert Solitaire is the absolute MUST READ! The Monkey Wrench Gang - the hilarious novel that was the inspiration for Earth First! The Journey Home - Great collection of essays in defense of the American West laced with fantastic Abbey humor! Terry Tempest Williams Tribute to Abbey "W.H. Auden tells us that when a writer dies he becomes his readers. If this is true, then Edward Abbey has had an exceptionally spirited afterlife. He has become the redrock activists...who pledge allegiance to the Colorado Plateau. He is the ... myriad voices defending ecological justice on behalf of landscape and animals. He persists as the sane wit who challenges the consensus-driven bureaucrats of the New West and the thoughtless powers behind industrial tourism. He is the fuel and fire for yet another generation falling in love with the desert. He survives as the hot-tempered muse jarring us out of complacency, reminding us that 'sentiment without action is the ruin of the soul.' " - Terry Tempest Williams Favorite Quotes by Edward Abbey "My loyalities will not be bound by national borders, or confined in time by one nation's history, or limited in the spirtual dimension by one language or culture. I pledge my allegiance to the damned human race, and my everlasting love to the green hills of Earth, and my intimations of glory to the singing stars, to the very end of space and time."

by Pat Holt Tuesday, October 23, 2001 Send a link to this column to a friend EDWARD ABBEY LIVES: THE BOOK THAT STOPPED A PASSENGER YOU WROTE WHAT? ON A BOMB? LETTERS EDWARD ABBEY LIVES: THE BOOK THAT STOPPED A PASSENGER So it's finally (already?) happened. A passenger on a United Airlines flight was prohibited from flying because of the book he was reading. On October 10, Neil Godfrey, 22, told the Philadelphia City Paper (see http://www.citypaper.net/articles/101801/news.godfrey.shtml ) that he didn't mind when a United ticket counter clerk explained he had been selected for a random baggage search. Once he left his luggage with the search grew, he got his boarding pass and prepared to walk through the metal detector by placing the novel he was reading and a copy of The Nation magazine on the conveyor belt. At that point an airport security guard looked worried: The book Godfrey put on conveyor belt was "Hayduke Lives!" Edward Abbey's sequel to his hilarious classic of environmental activism, "The Monkey Wrench Gang." On the cover of the sequel, the illustration shows a man's hand holding several sticks of dynamite banded together with a clock taped to the side. Looking at the cover through the guard's perspective, Godfrey told reporter Gwen Shaffer, for the first time, it occurred to me the book may be a problem."

Desert Solitaire : A Season in the Wilderness by Edward Abbey Edward Abbey's Desert Solitaire, the noted author's most enduring nonfiction work, is an account of Abbey's seasons as a ranger at Arches National Park outside Moab, Utah. Abbey reflects on the nature of the Colorado Plateau desert, on the condition of our remaining wilderness, and on the future of a civilization that cannot reconcile itself to living in the natural world. He also recounts adventures with scorpions and snakes, obstinate tourists and entrenched bureaucrats, and, most powerful of all, with his own mortality. Abbey's account of getting stranded in a rock pool down a side branch of the Grand Canyon is at once hilarious and terrifying. 269 pages, reissue edition (January 1990).

INTRODUCTION Abbey was one of the most prominent nature writers of the twentieth century. Although he resisted characterization as a “nature writer,” preferring to think of himself as a novelist, he is best remembered for his impassioned and often irreverent defense of American wilderness areas, particularly in the Southwest. Anarchistic and outspoken, he was called everything from America's crankiest citizen to the godfather of modern environmental activism. His nonfiction work Desert Solitaire (1968) is credited as being a key source of inspiration for the environmental movement, and his comic novel The Monkey Wrench Gang (1975), which follows the misadventures of four environmentalist terrorists, became an underground classic.

60. Edward Abbey Was The Quintessential American: The Easterner Who Headed West, Pul edward abbey (19271989) was the quintessential American the Easterner who headed West, pulling up stakes and lighting out for the Territories, http://www.terrybisson.com/ed.abbey.html

This essay was originally published in AMERICAN REBELS (Nation Books, 2003) edited by Jack Newfield. I got the gig thanks to my good friend and colleague Mark Jacobson. PULLING UP STAKES By Terry Bisson Edward Abbey (1927-1989) was the quintessential American: the Easterner who headed West, pulling up stakes and lighting out for the Territories, looking back over his shoulder only to make sure no one was following. He was also the quintessential American writer: the maverick by design as well as temperament, scorning the establishment, courting fame while pretending to flee from it, hiding rather than flaunting his education and literary sophistication. Abbey wrote some twenty books, most of them collections of occasional essays, two of them immortal gems, but all with the same theme: the awesome beauty and ongoing rape of the last great American wilderness, the high desert of the Colorado Plateau. His greatest (if not his favorite), Desert Solitaire The Monkey Wrench Gang , is about our power to save it from ourselves, or at least slow its desecration, provided we are willing to act the outlaw. wide open space s After a brief stint in the military (he left boot camp on V-J Day) Abbey took his G.I. Bill to the University of New Mexico, in Albuquerque.
