Overview

Tomato Rodriguez hops on her motorcycle and embarks on the ultimate sea-to-shining-sea all-girl adventure - a story that combines all the best parts of Alice in Wonderland and Easy Rider as Tomato crosses the country in search of the meaning of life, love, and the perfect post office. By the time Tomato rolls into San Francisco, she has visited post offices galore, tried using a mantra to give herself a lobotomy, decided to sleep with men, decided not to sleep with men, prayed for a bisexual role model, and figured out that who she is is whatever she makes up that day. Flaming Iguanas is a hilarious and unique first novel that combines text, line drawings, rubber stamp art, and a serious dose of attitude.

Editorials

Sylvie Constantine

In a sense, Flaming Iguanas is to the road novel what Don Quixote was to the knightly romance -- i.e., a satire -- but it is much funnier and has a definite feminist Amazon chaotic twist. Nothing is too sacred to escape Lopez's astute tongue. -- Lesbian Review of Books
