   Extractions: EDWARD ABBEY, 1927-1989 A maverick, a fly in the ointment, an environmentalist, a naturalist, an enemy, an ally, a thrower of beer cans, a dam hater, a river lover......... call him what you like. In the words of Wendell Berry "No sooner has a label been stuck to his back by a somewhat hesitant well-wisher than he runs beneath a low limb and scrapes it off". Ed defied simple description for one very basic reason... He was a very complicated man. A man of letters who took his writing as seriously as his love of nature. He wrote the good and the bad. Some of his words irritate just about everybody. Many of his words change lives. And that's just the way he wanted it. He despised the Abbey wannabe, yogurt lipped, granola heads who clung to his every word. He dismissed them as not having the intelligence or the steel to make their own decisions.

It is not enough to understand nature; the point is to save it."Edward Abbey, Desert Solitaire "The quality in [Edward Abbey] that I most prize, the one that removes him from the company of the writers I respect and puts him in the company, the smaller company, of the writers I love, is that he sees the gravity, the great danger, of the predicament we are now in, he tells it unswervingly, and he defends unflinchingly the heritage and the qualities that may preserve us. I read him, that is to say, for consolation, for the comfort of being told the truth." Wendell Berry Edward Abbey was born in Home, Pennsylvania in 1927. He was educated at the University of New Mexico and the University of Edinburgh. He died at his home in Oracle, Arizona, in 1989.

14. A FEW WORDS IN FAVOR OF EDWARD ABBEY
    An essay that looks deep into the soul of Ed, by author Wendell Berry  
    http://www.tipiglen.dircon.co.uk/abbey.html
    
    Extractions: Reading through a sizable gathering of reviews of Edward Abbey's books, as I have lately done, one becomes increasingly aware of the extent to which this writer is seen as a problem by people who are, or who think they are, on his side. The problem, evidently, is that he will not stay in line. No sooner has a label been stuck to his back by a somewhat hesitant well-wisher than he runs beneath a low limb and scrapes it off. To the consternation of the "committed" reviewer, he is not a conservationist or an environmentalist or a boxable ist of any other kind; he keeps on showing up as Edward Abbey, a horse of another color, and one that requires some care to appreciate. He is a problem, apparently, even to some of his defenders, who have an uncontrollable itch to apologize for him: "Well, he did say that . But we mustn't take him altogether seriously. He is only trying to shock us into paying attention." Don't we all remember from our freshman English class how important it is to get the reader's attention ? Down the River in The Nation of May 1, 1982. In it, Mr. Drabelle accused Mr. Abbey of elitism, iconoclasm, arrogance, and xenophobia; he found that Mr. Abbey's "immense popularity among environmentalists is puzzling" and observed that "many of his attitudes give aid and comfort to the enemies of conservation."
