The announcement of a new Abbey book, whether essays or fiction, stirs a personal craving no other current American writer can satisfy. "Los Angeles Book Review"
Abbey was a true independent, a self-declared extremist and desert mystic, ' and a hell of a good writer. . . . John Macrae has wisely chosen to organize these outstanding essays, travel pieces, and works of fiction to parallel events in Abbey's unusual life. "Booklist"
A record as important and lovely as Muir's and Thoreau's. "William McKibben, author of The End of Nature"
A splendid summary of his best work. . . . Anyone who doesn't already know his work will find this volume, culled from more than a dozen books of fiction and nonfiction, an addictive introduction. "Publishers Weekly"
Abbey was many things as a writer, and his longtime editor, John Macrae, has put together a collection which follows the course of Abbey's life through his own work. It is a clever way to anthologize a talent who is impossible to pigeonhole. . . . A fine introduction to a writer who seems certain to endure and is, undeniably, an American original. "Geoffrey Norman, American Way"
Abbey's work is a kind of blessed voice in the wilderness any way you take it, and a precious figure in our lethal time. "W.S. Merwin"
"The Serpents of Paradise" is without question the best Abbey reader. "David Petersen, editor of Confessions of a Barbarian: Selections from the Journals of Edward Abbey, 1951-1989""
