Thoughts on nature, politics, love, and much more—from the
environmentalist and author of such classics as Desert Solitaire and
The Monkey Wrench Gang. Finished just two weeks before his death, A
Voice Crying in the Wilderness is a collection of Edward Abbey’s
observations, both bitingly witty and inspirational, on a wide range
of topics—from philosophy and writing to music, money, sex, and
sports. Abbey chose each passage himself from his own journals and
previous writings—and warns us in his typical humorous style that
some of the notes “may be unconscious plagiarisms from the great and
dead (never steal from the living and mediocre).” Abbey’s last
wish was to be buried in an unmarked grave somewhere out in the vast
desert he loved so much. This book is an enduring signal from that
desert, through the words of one of the singular American thinkers of
our times.
