6 THINGS TOM ROBBINS IS GLAD HE WROTE
I never go back and read my books; I’m saving that for my golden years. But I retain a strong affection for: In the new book [Fierce Invalids Home from Hot Climates] I’m fond of:
*the passage in Even Cowgirls Get the Blues building up to the first description of Sissy Hankshaw’s enormous thumbs
*the opening gambit in Jitterbug Perfume: “The beet is the most intense of vegetables… .”
*the bed mite passage from Half Asleep in Frog Pajamas
*the riff on Jahweh and Lucifer settling out of court
*the place on page 272 about making a morning social call without showering: “He’d awakened too late to bathe properly, and Cupid’s briny chlorines clung to him like clamskin britches.”
*page 314’s metaphors in celebration of the hymen
