The secret evolution of atomic research is a counterpoint to her psychic development.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn keeping with its tradition of allowing the best of its list to thrive, Ohio University Press\/Swallow Press is particularly proud to reissue \u003ci\u003eThe Woman at Otowi Crossing\u003c\/i\u003e by best-selling author Frank Waters. This new edition features an introduction by Professor Thomas J. Lyon and a foreword by the author's widow, Barbara Waters.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe story is quintessential Waters: a parable for the potentially destructive materialism of the mid-twentieth century. The antidote is Helen Chalmer's ability to understand a deeper truth of her being; beyond the Western notion of selfhood, beyond the sense of a personality distinct from the rest, she experiences a new and wider awareness.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe basis for an opera of the same name, \u003ci\u003eThe Woman at Otowi Crossing\u003c\/i\u003e is the powerful story of the crossing of cultures and lives: a fable for our times.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Swallow Press","offers":[{"title":"Woman At Otowi Crossing (Revised) | Frank Waters | Paperback | 9780804008938 | Used: Very Good | Fiction 1724088","offer_id":50869514338562,"sku":"1724088","price":26.72,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0609\/3327\/5906\/files\/61o9TSe1EfL.jpg?v=1792955763","url":"https:\/\/boswellsbooks.com\/products\/woman-at-otowi-crossing-revised","provider":"Boswell's Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
