Synopses & Reviews

Review:

"Abbey is a complex figure, but James Cahalan, an English professor at Indiana University of Pennsylvania, has managed to do justice to his life and times, his eloquence and orneriness, in fewer than 300 pages of text." Dennis Drabelle, the Washington Post

Review:

"Affectionate but not besotted with his subject, Cahalan presents Abbey's strengths and shortcomings in equal light and without judgment, in the end clearing up many misunderstandings." Publishers Weekly

Review:

"Determined to cut through myth and rumor, Cahalan meticulously tracks the course of Abbey's often feral yet always creative and resonant life, chronicling his Appalachian boyhood, devotion to literature, and love for his adopted territory, the Southwest." Donna Seaman, Booklist

Description:

Includes bibliographical references (p. [315]-336) and index.
