Reviews
In this collection of previously published essays, Abbey writes on topics as diverse as immigration law, the nature of femininity, and the philosophy of Emerson. The book is divided into three sections: Politics, Travel, and Books and Art. Marvelous portraits of the Rio Grande and the Salmon rivers showcase Abbey's ability to evoke a feeling for the majesty of these places. His political essays are lively and provocative; those discussing books and art reveal him as one who has thought deeply about his craft. An original writer with strong convictions whose latest book is recommended for most collections. Randy Dykhuis, Grand Rapids P.L., Mich.

Hardback. Condition: Good. From stories about cattlemen, fellow critics, his beloved desert, cities, and technocrats to thoughts on sin and redemption, this is one of our most treasured writers at the height of his powers in One Life at a Time, Please.Edward Abbey died in 1989--too soon, some said. And where have the years gone? Abbey wrote, why, into the usual vices of the romantic realist: into sloth and melancholy, love and marriage and the begetting of children, into the strenuous maneuvers of earning a living without living to earn, into travel and play and music and drink and talk and laughter, into saving the world--but saving the world was only a hobby. Into watching cloud formations float across our planetary skies. But mostly into sloth and melancholy. And I don't regret a moment of it. Seller Inventory # 00094318551

Hardbound. Condition: New. Dust Jacket Condition: New. First edition. 225pp. Octavo [21.5 cm] 1/4 black cloth with red paper covered boards, and a gilt stamped title on the spine. Edward Abbey was offered an award by the American Academy of Arts and Letters in 1987. He declined the offer, so that he might run a river in Idaho the same week. Wendell Berry states on the jacket- "We are living. among punishments and ruins. For those who know this, Edward Abbey's books remain an indispensable solace. His essays, and his novels, too, are 'antidotes to despair.'". Seller Inventory # 38266
