Lizard Woman — 1985 ·

By Frank Waters

“The prose of Frank Waters seems almost as timeless as the Southwest of which he writes so elegantly and so eloquently.…The Lizard Woman is the story of a journey, and of a discovery. It is a brief, but powerful and compelling story.”

Jerry Keenan — Colorado Libraries

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.

Frank Waters (1902–1995), one of the finest chroniclers of the American Southwest, wrote twenty–eight works of fiction and nonfiction.
