Toggle navigation. Language: English. Comedy Drama. Will See 50 Won't See 1. Director Henry Joost Ariel Schulman. For those unfamiliar with Mr. Among their ideas in the fight for Mother Earth is the demolition of the Glen Canyon Dam, a deed that, in Seldom Seen's heart and soul, would deliver some serious environmental justice. Welcome back Glen Canyon and the old Coloraddy River.
Here's how the story, which has been said to have launched the Earth First! In the dank, steaming jungles of Vietnam, Hayduke longed for the grandeur, the light, and the freedom of the Southwestern desert. On his return to America he finds that someone or something is trying to change his desert into an industrial wasteland.
Meeting on a white-water float trip down the Colorado River, Hayduke, Doc, Bonnie and Seldom Seen discover a communal bond: a profound distrust of blind technology and a healthy hatred for the corporate interests whose lust for profit threatens the survival of the American Wilderness.
They agree to become eco-raiders, declaring war on the strip miners, the clear-cutters, and the highway, dam and bridge builders. What should make this a particularly fun production is the cast brought together by director Catherine Hardwicke. I loved that book!! I hope they stay true to the book because then it will be an excellent movie. Somewhere at Slick Rock old Abbey will review this film with much enthusiasm I met this man many years ago and just seeing him you could feel the power of his crusty behavior They better do this film right or justice will be swift!!
We're dealing with some gang stuff, so that is the first connector. Second, and more important, we have a plume of radioactive contamination from the old uranium processing plant slowly moving into the sacred springs at Moenkopi, and who knows how much radioactive dust is settling in our lungs every time a SE wind arises? The Bush EPA has been silent surprise! My kids could relate well, and now is the time for some green action.
I'm a long time fan of the Monkey Wrench Gang and have always wondered if and when a movie would come out. I was just searching around this evening to see if anything was in the works. Edward Abbey's extensive vocabulary is best enjoyed printed, allowing the reading opportunities for deeper comprehension and inquiry. This audiobook, with great and dynamic narration, offers the opportunity for the sense of storytelling.
I enjoyed the different voices used for each character and was able to refer back to them when picking up the book in between sessions of listening. I have loved this book since it was first published. I was in college in Colorado, and my friends and I used to go regularly to Utah to jeep and backpack in Canyonlands, Arches, etc. I have read it quite a few times, the first few times during trips to the canyon country, where we would do our best to trace the footsteps of the Gang.
If you love the desert and have any anarchistic tendencies, The Monkey Wrench Gang is for you! The audiobook is pretty good. The narrator was OK but nothing special. He pronounced "pinyon" a word that occurs many, many times as "pin-YOWN". I think this might be one of the acceptable pronunciations, but I have never heard anyone in the Southwest say anything other than "PIN-yuhn" so I found it distracting. Maybe I'm being unfair, but I found it distracting. Hayduke never would have pronounced it that way, and I doubt that Ed Abbey would have either.
Great story. His discription of many wild places and the energy of the moment when experiencing raw moments in nature were perfect.
I great story of man vs the often selfish and cruel people who drive industry. I loved the book. Hayduke lives! The introduction was my favorite part to be honest. Great ending though. If you could sum up The Monkey Wrench Gang in three words, what would they be?
Eco-terrorism Reigns Dear. Who was your favorite character and why? George Hayduke is too obvious. I enjoyed Bonnie Abzug balancing the attentions of two men simultaneously while bringing her female perspective to every escapade.
You eventually accept his personal characterizations of the player's voices. Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry? Knew of this book for forty years but hadn't read it. As a younger man, it could have inspired eco-anarchy in me. Any additional comments? Edward Abbey is particularly adept at describing the southwest landscape.
I live in Tucson, Arizona. During the late 's and into the 's bumper stickers that said "Hayduke LIves! One can occasionally find one This was a fun book. Great characters characters. Good story. Beautiful scenery I must visit some of these places one day. Bail-biting edge of the seat escapes. My problem is with.. As a lover of Sci-Fi, I am a lover of the promise of the future. Sorry George W. Hayduke, but you are fighting the wrong fight. What did you like best about this story?
