{"product_id":"frank-waters-the-lizard-woman-9780804009874","title":"The Lizard Woman","description":"\"The novel was begun in 1926, when I was twenty-four years old and working as a telephone engineer in Imperial Valley, on the California-Baja California border. During my stay there I made a horseback trip down into the little-known desert interior of Lower California. After having lived all of my early years in the high Rockies of California, I was unprepared for the vast sweep of sunstruck desert with its flat wastes, clumps of cacti, and barren parched-rock ranges. Its emotional impact was so profound, I was impelled to give voice to it with pencil and paper.\"\n\u003cbr\u003e\n- Frank Waters\n\u003cbr\u003e\nFirst published in 1930 under the title Fever Pitch, \u003cb\u003eThe Lizard Woman\u003c\/b\u003e is Frank Waters' first novel. It foreshadows a theme central to Waters' later work: that we must attune our spirits to the land to fully understand our places in the natural order.","brand":"Univ of Chicago on behalf of Ohio Univ Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54009395413334,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0925\/5829\/5382\/files\/product_image_9780804009874_1.jpg?v=1779888428","url":"https:\/\/www.momoxbooks.com\/products\/frank-waters-the-lizard-woman-9780804009874","provider":"momoxbooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
