Half Asleep in Frog Pajamas

Description

When the stock market crashes on the Thursday before Easter, you - an ambitious, although ineffectual and not entirely ethical young broker - are going to have to scramble and scheme to cover your butt before Monday. But there's no way you can anticipate that over these fateful three days you will be forced to confront everything from mysterious African rituals to legendary amphibians, from your own sexuality to outer space. This is Tom Robbins in his finest form. 'A piece of working magic, warm, funny and sane' - Thomas Pynchon

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. He is the author of six other novels including Fierce Invalids Home from Hot Climates, Even Cowgirls get the Blues and Still Life with Woodpecker. (published by No Exit Press)

"This is one of those special novels--a piece of working magic, warm, funny, and sane -that you just want to ride off into the sunset with." - Thomas Pynchon
