The Land of Little Rain is an incredible collection of short stories and essays describing the geography and residents of the American Southwest. The stories are linked by messages of environmental conservation and a cultural and sociopolitical regionalism philosophy. It is represented as both “local color” and non-fiction, scientific work, written mainly for an urban American audience unknown to life in the Mojave Desert. The book attempts to entertain the reader by including direct, first, second and third-person viewpoints.
