Synopsis
Desert Solitaire: A Season in the Wilderness is a literary nonfiction work by Edward Abbey (1927–89), published originally in 1968. His fourth book and his first book length non-fiction work, it followed three fictional books, Jonathan Troy, The Brave Cowboy, and Fire on the Mountain.

Reviews
A great tale of the intrigue of the desert mixed with philosophical meanderings of great interest to me.
