Quotes by Edward Abbey

Edward Abbey worked as a seasonal park ranger in the Utah desert and turned it into Desert Solitaire, a book that is half nature writing and half a sustained attack on what tourism and development were doing to the American West. The Monkey Wrench Gang fictionalised sabotage as a response and helped inspire radical environmentalism. He was cantankerous, inconsistent and frequently indefensible, and he wrote about landscape better than almost anyone.
