Good News: A Novel

Good News: A Novel

In Good News, Edward Abbeyâ‚¬s acclaimed underground classic, the West is wild again. American civilization as the twentieth century knew it has crumbled. In the great Southwest, a new breed of settler, whites and Indians together, is creating a new way of life in the wildernessâ‚¬"a pastoral economyâ‚¬"with skills and savvy resurrected from the pre-industrial past. Meanwhile, in a last surviving bastion of urban life, the remnants of the power elite are girding their armed forces to re-impose the old order. This is a land of horses and motorcycles, high-tech weaponry and primitive courage, and the struggle for the American future is mounting in intensity. No quarter is asked or given, and the outcome hangs in perilous balance against a background of magnificent nature and eternal human verities.
Â
With this boldly satirical imaginary world, Abbey asks us to look around and take stock of what we valueâ‚¬"before it is too late.
