The Fool's Progress: An Honest Novel - Edward Abbey

Descriere The Fool's Progress: An Honest Novel - Edward Abbey

\n \nThe Fool's Progress, the fat masterpiece as Edward Abbey labeled it, is his most important piece of writing: it reveals the complete Ed Abbey, from the green grass of his memory as a child in Appalachia to his approaching death in Tuscon at age sixty two. \n \nWhen his third wife abandons him in Tucson, boozing, misanthropic anarchist Henry Holyoak Lightcap shoots his refrigerator and sets off in a battered pick-up truck for his ancestral home in West Virginia. Accompanied only by his dying dog and his memories, the irascible warhorse (a stand-in for the real Abbey) begins a bizarre cross-country odyssey--determined to make peace with his past--and to wage one last war against the ravages of progress. \n \nA profane, wildly funny, brash, overbearing, exquisite tour de force. -- The Chicago Tribune\n
