Author of eco-classics such as \u003ci\u003eThe Monkey Wrench Gang\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eDesert Solitaire\u003c\/i\u003e, Edward Abbey reveals all his rough-hewn edges and passionate beliefs in this witty, outspoken, maddening, and sometimes brilliant selection of journal entries that takes the writer from his early years as a park ranger and would-be literary author up to his death in 1989. Everything is here: the acute wit, the searing cynicism, and the lyrical, effortless prose. This new edition features an interview with his friend and editor David Petersen in which Abbey speaks candidly about his own work, his approach to writing, and technique. Original sketches made by Abbey himself and a detailed index are also included.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bower House\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/07\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781917895002\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 432\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.90lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 1.10d","brand":"Edward Abbey","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52122387284149,"sku":"9781917895002","price":18.7,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_fd0e335c-157a-48b8-96e0-c3fa7cab7828.jpg?v=1766512828","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/confessions-of-a-barbarian-9781917895002","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
