Finding Abbey: The Search for Edward Abbey and His Hidden Desert Grave

3.85 (220 ratings by Goodreads)

English

By (author): Sean Prentiss

When the great environmental writer Edward Abbey died in 1989, four of his friends buried him secretly in a hidden desert spot that no one would ever find. The final resting place of the Thoreau of the American West remains unknown and has become part of American folklore. In this book a young writer who went looking for Abbeys grave combines an account of his quest with a creative biography of Abbey.

Sean Prentiss takes readers across the country as he gathers clues from his research, travel, and interviews with some of Abbeys closest friendsincluding Jack Loeffler, Ken Seldom Seen Sleight, David Petersen, and Doug Peacock. Along the way, Prentiss examines his own sense of rootlessness as he attempts to unravel Abbeys complicated legacy, raising larger questions about the meaning of place and home. See more
