Now in a Harper Perennial Modern Classics edition, the timeless
novel that chronicles a reckless romance in the wilderness, from
Edward Abbey, one of America's foremost defenders of the natural
environment.
Black Sun is a bittersweet love story involving an iconoclastic
forest ranger and a freckle-faced "American princess" half his age.
Like Lady Chatterley's lover, he initiates her into the rites of
sex and the stark, secret harmonies of his wilderness kingdom. She,
in turn, awakens in him the pleasure of love. Then she mysteriously
disappears, plunging him into desolation.
Black Sun is a singular novel in Abbey's repertoire, a romantic
story of a solitary man's passion for the outdoors and for a woman
who is his wilderness muse.
"Like most honest novels, Black Sun is partly autobiographical,
mostly invention, and entirely true. The voice that speaks in this
book is the passionate voice of the forest," Abbey writes, "the
madness of desire, and the joy of love, and the anguish of final
loss."
