Death of Writer Edward Abbey

It was with great sadness that I learned of the death of author Edward Abbey. I will not be able to think of the arid beauty of northern Arizona or Utah’s Canyonlands without his writings coming to mind.

I hope that his publishers will release the draft of his last novel. A sequel to “The Monkey Wrench Gang” will be welcomed with open arms.

Thank you, Mr. Abbey, for your thought-provoking plots and rich characters that will continue to defend the red rock country from the fences and pavement of land developers, and rest assured that Hayduke lives!
