Desert Solitaire by Edward Abbey
from The Roamers Book Club Hosted by Black Gold Cabin
For two years in the 1950's Edward Abbey worked as a park ranger in Arches National Park (then monument) spending most of his time alone, contemplating the desert environment, humans relationship to nature, and conspiracy theories! After it was published in 1968 Desert Solitaire became an influential piece of literature for the contemporary environmental movement of the 1970's. Christine and Kyle discuss some of Abbey's controversial takes, their experiences with the national parks and get deep as they gab about the end of human existence.
