View Edward Abbey Monkey Wrench PNG. Edward abbey spent most of his life in the american southwest. He was a writer, known for the monkey wrench gang, lonely are the brave (1962) and fire on the mountain (1981).

Easily abbey's most famous work of fiction, the novel concerns the use of sabotage to protest environmentally damaging activities in the southwestern united states.

I wish the monkey wrench gang was taught in every lit class in america. Edward abbey called the monkey wrench gang a comic extravaganza, which it is, although one with a clear, serious message: The politicisation of abbey's philosophy is explored through (1) organisational, institutional responses to the question of draining lake powell reservoir and decommissioning the dam, and (2) how the ideology of abbey's fictional gang is recast—and plays out—in the actions of environmental activists. Loose objects—gilded scissors, a monkey wrench, a couple of empty cadillacs—slid down the appalling gradient of the depressed roadway and launched themselves, turning slowly, into space.
