About This Book:

Title: Postcards from Ed: Dispatches And Salvos from an American Iconoclast

Synopsis
Edward Abbey's beliefs were varied, ferocious, and always fun to read. The writer famous for THE MONKEY WRENCH GANG was pro-environment, pro-gun, anti-immigration, anti-capitalism, anti-communism, pro-cheerleaders, possibly pro-terrorism, and firmly opposed to the literature of Beckett, Faulkner, Updike, and Kerouac. The scattershot collection of his letters and postcards capture Abbey's wily, witty, and irascible spirit. They are almost as fun to read as his novels.

Industry Reviews
"As a correspondent, Edward Abbey was impulsive, unsparing, irascible, epigrammatic...free ranging, cymbal crashing, an anarchist in mind as well as politics, encased...in an ever-shaken snow globe of contradictions, provocations, bathroom-wall jokes, and fortissimo declarations."
