{"product_id":"9780804009874","title":"The Lizard Woman","description":"\u003cp\u003e\"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 — Frank Waters\n\u003cbr\u003e First published in 1930 under the title Fever Pitch, The Lizard Woman 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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Swallow Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49102142800099,"sku":"00000_00000_00000_00000","price":16.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0764\/3758\/6147\/files\/9780804009874-1.jpg?v=1788353505","url":"https:\/\/usa.kinokuniya.com\/products\/9780804009874","provider":"Books Kinokuniya USA","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
