Here lies proof of the theory that the soul of a writer propogates beyond into the heart of the reader. It's rare that I give a book 5 stars, but this anthology, a picture taken some years after Edward Abbey's death, show his ideas and methods are still very much alive. Some of the authors herein have chosen the path of analysis, and Coyote slips by. He's hard to find, but not for lack of trying. Others have chosen to 'become' rather than to 'seek', and here's where the real fun begins.

I'll not give all the secrets away. It's much more enjoyable to find them for yourself. But I will say one thing: I had a revelation while reading this book, and despite Abbey's Nietzshean roots, I hold him closer now and with greater respect, after reading this book.
