Prentiss details his search for the hidden grave of writer Edward Abbey in twenty-seven short, juicy chapters. After a short introduction to the source of his fascination with the gravesite, the book takes the form of a dated and located journal wandering from the author’s home in Pennsylvania to ever more specific parts of the West and Southwest as he talks politics, passion, ecology, and other subjects with a variety of folks he hopes will lead him to Abbey. His story intersects with novel personalities and cultures up to the point of his destination, leading to a climax and epilogue in which he wrestles with the personal meaning of his search and discovery. A chronology of Edward Abbey and bibliography of his publications are inserted before the list of other cited works. Annotation ©2015 Ringgold, Inc., Portland, OR (protoview.com)
