Edward Abbey

A Life

BY JAMES CAHALAN

Brief Description:
He was a hero to environmentalists and the patron saint of monkeywrenchers, a man in love with desert solitude. A supposed misogynist who counted women among his closest friends. A writer who attracted a cult following but was often uncomfortable with it. Quaker James Cahalan shows that Abbey was neither simply a countercultural cowboy hero nor an unprincipled troublemaker, but instead a complex and multifaceted individual whose legacy has only begun to be appreciated.
