Desert Solitaire

Desert Solitaire

DESERT SOLITAIRE
	
	Desert Solitaire is widely regarded as the greatest and most definitive piece of work that Edward Abbey ever wrote.  Desert Solitaire follows Abbey in his two summers as a ranger in south eastern Utah’s Arches National Monument.  In his book Abbey shows disdain for the government that continues to help populate the western United States referring to “the insufferable arrogance of elected officials (177).”  Desert Solitaire is a well written book, and in it Abbey mixes his wit and humor with serious issues involving the environment and the land that he seemed to love so much.  Abbey’s ability to mix humor with seriousness was exemplified in his story about getting stranded in a rock pool down.  This story was both funny and scary and shows what a good story teller can do with writing.  Abbey, who wrote and published many memorable books before his death in 1989, is still best remembered for Desert Solitaire.  Sandra Yost in her eulogy to Edward Abbey referred to this piece of work as one of the most influential works for environmentalists.  Abbey was curious about life and the way our ecology worked.
