Teale, Edwin Way, New York Times Book Review: "[The book] is the outgrowth of a bitter awareness of all that has been lost, all that is being lost, all that is going to be lost in that glory of our American democracy, our system of national parks. Designed to set aside, for all the people, wild areas of special beauty, this system orignated with a two-fold purpose: to serve the public and to preserve the areas. These two goals are not in head-on collision. For 'to serve the public' has come to mean 'to serve the public in automobiles'." |

DESERT SOLITAIRE, widely considered to be one of Abbey's best books, is the account of two summers he spent in the canyon lands of southeastern Utah. First published in 1968, the book has acquired a huge following over the years, and stands as one of the author's most impassioned pleas for the preservation of the wilderness, and has become a classic of American nature writing. |
