Edward Abbey’s writings are well known, yet too few of his fans have heard him speak. Here is a remarkable opportunity to experience his crusty eloquence up close as he reads from his books, Desert Solitaire, The Journey Home, Abbey’s Road, and Down the River. Abbey’s voice brings his passionately felt prose to life.
“Abbey is one of our very best writers about wilderness country, especially the desert. He is a gadfly with a stinger like a scorpion, the most effective publicist of the West’s curious desire to rape itself since Bernard DeVoto died in 1955.”
