My girlfriend at the time, knowing my fondness for Tom Robbins, surprised me with tickets to go see him at a famed theater in San Francisco (I don’t remember its name). Obsessed are the people who go to readings 3 nights a week at coffee houses, live their lives through books instead of really living there lives, and…people who frequently go see authors speak. There is an appreciation of the Arts and there is obsession. I usually would not be a fan of such absurd notions, but with Tom Robbins, it all just works. Two things I love!Įvery Tom Robbins book is similar in this respect: expect the unexpected…like utensils having a conversation or a love story that takes place inside a pack of camel cigarettes. Two of the remedies are: lots of sex and lots of baths. Also, he teaches you how to live forever. Tom Robbins combines profound and playful in perfect proportion. Jitterbug Perfume by Tom Robbins may be one of my favorite books of all time.
