Slumgullion Stew: An Edward Abbey Reader

"In compiling this one-man show I have endeavored to present what I think is both the best and the most representative of my writing. Most of my writing has aspects of the human comedy, especially the conflict between our instructive urge toward fraternity, community and freedom and the opposing demands of discipline and the state."

Besides excerpts from seven novels--including a work in process--there are offerings from Edward Abbey's personal histories of travel, ideas, people, nature, places and adventures including ABBEY'S ROAD, BEYOND THE WALL and DOWN THE RIVER.
