Publisher's Synopsis
Fiction. A woman possessed by an inexplicable hatred for her husband plans his death on their forthcoming trip to Mexico. It is unwittingly facilitated by a young girl with whom the husband falls in love.
THE IGUANAS OF HEAT is an altogether different book, even as it remains unmistakably a novel by Yuriy Tarnawsky. Recalling at times the works of John O'Hara, John Hawkes, Paul and Jane Bowles, as well as Ann Quin, it tells the story of an extremely unhappily married couple, Greta Kraus and Walter Kramer...Lyrical, emotional, and compulsively readable, WARM ARCTIC NIGHTS and THE IGUANAS OF HEAT make remarkable additions to what was already a powerful body of work. Both are heartily recommended."--A.D. Jameson
