For the first time in softcover, Edward Abbey’s last book, a collection of unforgettable barbs of wisdom from the best-selling author of The Monkey Wrench Gang.

Notes from a Secret Journal

Edward Abbey on:

Government — “Terrorism: deadly violence against humans and other living things, usually conducted by a government against its own people.”

Sex — “How to Avoid Pleurisy: Never make love to a girl named Candy on the tailgate of a half-ton Ford pickup during a chill rain in April out of Grandview Point in San Juan County, Utah.”

New York City — “New Yorkers like to boast that if you can survive in New York, you can survive anywhere. But if you can survive anywhere, why live in New York?”

Literature — “Henry James. Our finest lady novelist.”
