Abbey, Edward The Serpents of Paradise

Corners sharp. Unclipped ($25.00) DJ in clear archival protector. From the DJ: 'From boyhood in Home, Pennsylvania, to his death in Tucson, Arizona, in 1989, this book offers - in Abbey's own words - the world of an American original. Whether writing fact or fiction, Abbey was always an autobiographer. Each of the thirty-five selections presented here, arranged chronologically by date of incident (not of publication), demonstrates that Abbey was passionately, insistently his own man. As poet-farmer Wendell Berry puts it: "He remains Edward Abbey, speaking as and for himself, fighting, literally, for dear life ... for the survival not only of nature, but of human nature, of culture, as only our heritage of works and hopes can define it."'

In Ambrose's hands, this enterprise, with its huge expenditure of brainpower, muscle, and sweat, comes to life.'
