I havent read anything by Abbey... but will put it on my list. I do however, consider stegner to be the intermountain's william faulkner. In fact, I think stegner was ten times the writer faulkner was

I think Stegner is a better writer than Abbey, too. But you should read desert solitarie and then tell me if you see what I am trying to say.

Oh great, another Stegner fellator. Do you and Seattle wrestle in the nude in front of his giant Stegner shrine?

Better than Faulkner? Yeah, that Noble prize committee is a bunch of idiots.

I like Abbey's non-fiction a lot and Solitaire is one of my favorite books. His fiction is just so-so.
