Description
Imagine that there are American MIAs who chose to remain missing after the Vietnam War. Imagine that there is a family in which four generations of strong, alluring women have shared a mysterious connection to an outlandish figure from Japanese folklore. These things are just a small taster of Robbins's eighth and perhaps most beautifully crafted novel - a work as timeless as a myth, yet as topical as the latest international threat.
Author Biography
Tom Robbins has been called "a vital natural resource" by The Portland Oregonian, "one of the wildest and most entertaining novelists in the world" by the FT, and "the most dangerous writer in the world today" by Fernanda Pivano of Italy's Corriere della Sera. A Southerner by birth, Robbins has lived in and around Seattle since 1962. His novels include Fierce Invalids Home From Hot Climates, Jitterbug Perfume, Still Life With Woodpecker, Skinny Legs And All, Half Asleep In Frog Pajamas and Another Roadside Attraction.
Reviews"Robbins' latest salad of absurdist drama, philosophical musings and observational comedy" - Laurence Phelan, The Independent
