Description: Edward Abbey writes with a unique, often acerbic, voice about nature, humans, and what he often sees as the unfortunate intersection of the two.

There is a libertarian streak in his attitudes, but his storytelling ability makes his voice irresistible to many readers. His love for the wildness of the outdoors underlies the passion with which he presents his vision of the natural world. Start with: The Monkey Wrench Gang (Fiction); Desert Solitaire (Nonfiction)
