A collection of high-energy, previously unpublished letters by the late author of The Monkey Wrench Gang and Desert Solitaire shares his observations on a wide variety of topics, from sex and the Bond girls to religion and the war in Vietnam.

?But hell, I do like to write letters. Much easier than writing books. And write letters Ed Abbey did. In his famous ? or infamous ? 45-year career, Abbeys cards and letters became as legendary as his books for their wit, vitriol, and ability to speak truth to power. Published here for the first time, the letters offer a fascinating, often hilarious glimpse into the mind of one of Americas most iconoclastic and beloved authors. No subject was too banal, too arcane, or too deep for Abbey to expound on: sex, cheerleaders, Mormons, Aspen, and the Bond girls are covered as gleefully as Stegner, Dylan, Chomsky, Buddhism, and betrayal. Whether scolding an editor to simplify (?Ive had to waste hours erasing that storm of fly-shit on the typescript) or skewering the chicken-hawk proponents of the war in Vietnam, Abbeys righteous indignation gives hope and inspiration to a generation that desperately needs both.
