Book Reviews of Desert Solitaire
Book Review: Non-fiction has never been so passionate or poetic.
Summary: 5 Stars
Desert Solitaire is one of Ed Abbey's best known books and exemplifies his unique talent for turning the medium of the essay into something both highly artistic and down to earth. Though apparently proud of his rough exterior and offensive, controversial opinions, Abbey demonstrates in his non-fiction the heart of a poet. This book is worth reading for the amazing sentences alone. If you know the West, this book will bring it home to you. If you do not, it will infuse some fierce love into your soul that, I believe, will eventually draw you to it.
