PUBLISHERS WEEKLY " Desert Cabal is a griefstricken, hearthopeful, soul song to the American Desert, a wail, a keening, a rant, a scolding, a tumult, a prayer, an aria, and a call to action. Amy Irvine implores us to trade in our solitude for solidarity, to recognize ourselves in each other and in the places we love, so that we might come together to save them. In this time of all out war being waged on Americas Public Lands, I'm glad she's on my side." PAM HOUSTON, author of Contents May Have Shifted "Amy Irvine is Ed Abbey's underworld, her roots reaching into the dark, hidden water. In a powerful, dreamlike series of essays, she lays Desert Solitaire bare, looking back at the man who wrote the book and the desert left behind. This stream of consciousness, this conversation, this broadside is an alternate version of Abbey's country. It is another voice in the wilderness." CRAIG CHILDS, author of Atlas of a Lost World and Apocalyptic Planet "Ed Abbey's rise to sainthood has been a bit awkward: here is an earth hero who guzzles gas in search of his personal Eden, a champion of the underdog who snubs Mexican and Native people, an anarchist rabblerouser who utters not a peep about his perch atop the patriarchy. Finally someoneand it could be no better iconoclast than Amy Irvinewrassles him off the pedestal back down to the red dirt where he belongs. Half riot, half tribute, this is a roadmap through a crisis that neither Abbey nor any of us imagined." MARK SUNDEEN, author of The Man Who Quit Money and The Unsettlers "If youve ever talked back to the canonical tomes of the environmental movement, this is a book for you. Here are the women, the people, the children, and the intimate dangers those old books so frequently erased. Here is a new and necessary ethic that might help us more openly love the land and the many living beings who share it. I found myself nodding Yes! Yes! Thank you! on nearly every page of Desert Cabal ." CAMILLE T.
