If you have never read a book by Tom Robbins, well my dear, you are missing out on some truly breathtaking literature. His unique twist on familiar story construction creates novels devoted to metaphor and imagination. My recommendation to you is to pick up a copy of STILL LIFE WITH WOODPECKER and dive into a world of bent reality. The story’s basic plot line is decorated with colorful characters and truly fascinating wordplay. His books remind me of a basic white cake loaded with tie-dye icing and a spiral of every imaginable candy on top. Each page has at least one sentence that captures your fascination and leads to self-interpretation.
“To achieve the impossible; it is precisely the unthinkable that must be thought.”
“Our similarities bring us to a common ground; Our Differences allow us to be fascinated by each other”
-Tom Robbins
