The secret evolution of atomic research is a counterpoint to her psychic development.\u003cbr\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.\u003cbr\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.\u003cbr\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\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55418509820278,"sku":"9780804008938","price":19.39,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/orig_27439047.jpg?v=1742861385","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9780804008938-woman-at-otowi-crossing-reve","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
