I read this terrific Ed Abbey book many years ago. Given what the new administration is doing in the southwest, this short essay remarks that it is time to read it again. So, as soon as I finish re-reading Dougal Haston's novel CALCULATED RISK, I will start on Desert Solitaire. (On a different note, Haston's novel tells us a lot more about him than his autobiography, including how and why he dies.)
