I’m getting through Hayduke Lives!, though at this point it’s a “Well, I’m halfway through, might as well finish the thing” journey. I enjoyed the original novel, The Monkey Wrench Gang, but this one so far is nothing but characters thinking about having sex with the other characters. There’s a little landscape description (The main reason to read Abbey, that and his colorful tirades against the crony corporate state) , but mostly the text is about eying body parts.

I think I’m going to return to Abbey’s nonfiction. Besides, he always kills the best character at the end of his novels.
