Voice Crying in the Wilderness (Vox Clamantis in Deserto): Notes from a Secret Journal
Voice Crying in the Wilderness (Vox Clamantis in Deserto): Notes from a Secret Journal | Edward Abbey
2 posts | 3 read | 1 to read
"A Voice Crying in the Wilderness" is a unique work in the Abbey canon. Completed just two weeks before his home in Fort Llatikcuf, Arizona, the book is, in sum, a credo, but in Abbey's nimble hands it is not a dry tome but a collection of lively, outrageous, drop-dead funny, tick-you-off sayings, observations, musings, and aphorisms about life, death, beer drinking, religion, music, literature, the environment, and just about everything else.

Abbey himself culled through his journals and published works to find this aphoristic collection of quotable passages. More than ever, Abbey's words resonate deeply and this work can serve as an introduction to his ideas.

My job is to save the fucking wilderness. I don't know anything else worth saving.
