Desert Solitaire: A Season in the Wilderness

New York: Ballantine Books. Later printing. Paperback. NEW. 337 pp. Duodecimo [17.5 cm]; pictorial wrappers. Mass market paperback. Edward Abbey lived for three seasons in the desert at Moab, Utah, and what he discovered about the land before him, the world around him, and the heart that beat within, is a fascinating, sometimes raucous, always personal account of a place that has already disappeared, but is worth remembering and living through again and again.
