Softcover. Condition: As New. But hell, I do like to write letters. Much easier than writing books.? And write letters Ed Abbey did. In his famous or infamous 45-year career, Abbey?s cards and letters became as legendary as his books for their wit, vitriol, and ability to speak truth to power. Published here for the first time, the letters offer a fascinating, often hilarious glimpse into the mind of one of America?s most iconoclastic and beloved authors. No subject was too banal, too arcane, or too deep for Abbey to expound on: sex, cheerleaders, Mormons, Aspen, and the Bond girls are covered as gleefully as Stegner, Dylan, Chomsky, Buddhism, and betrayal. Whether scolding an editor to simplify ( I?ve had to waste hours erasing that storm of fly-shit on the typescript?) or skewering the chicken-hawk proponents of the war in Vietnam, Abbey?s righteous indignation gives hope and inspiration to a generation that desperately needs both.

Paperback. Condition: new. Second edition. 433 pp. Octavo [21 cm]; illustrated wraps. "This is the only major collection of Abbey's writings compiled by the author himself: in his own words, "to present what I think is both the best and most representative of my writing--so far." It serves up a rich feast of fiction and prose by the singular American writer whom Larry McMurtry called "the Thoreau of the American West." Devoted Abbey fans along with readers just discovering his work will find a mother lode of treasures here: generous chunks of his best novels, including The Brave Cowboy, Black Sun, and his classic The Monkey Wrench Gang; and more than a score of his evocative, passionate, trenchant essays--a genre in which he produced acknowledged masterpieces such as Desert Solitaire. Scattered throughout are the author's own petroglyph-style sketches. This new edition adds selections from work that appeared shortly before Abbey's death: a chapter from Hayduke Lives!, the hilarious sequel to The Monkey Wrench Gang; excerpts from his revealing journals; and examples of his poetry. A new foreword by Doug Peacock--Abbey's close friend and the model for the flamboyant activist Hayduke--offers a fond appreciation of this larger-than-life figure in American letters." --from Publisher.

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. About 100 Color Photos (illustrator). One corner lightly bumped; the dustjacket has about three small nicks. Else in Very Good+ condition in Very Good+ dustjacket. Photographs from a generation who came to the canyon country of the Four Corners as park rangers, teachers, river guides, naturalists, and backpackers ? for personal fulfillment rather than as artists or commercial photographers. Everything they know about themselves and the land is distilled in these photographs. They transcend the literal. The common thread is light?the magical, iridescent light that happens when clear air, naked rock, and sun collide. The book pairs thematic portfolios (Rock, Water, Canyons, Mesas, Plateaus, Mountains, and Time) with words from a century of the region's most eloquent writers. Photographers include Mary Allen, Tom Bean, Michael Collier, Jeff Gnass, Philip Hyde, William Neill, Galen Rowell, John Running, Jeremy Schmidt, Tom Till, Stephen Trimble, Larry Ulrich, and Mark Zarn.
