All Books Tom Robbins Bibliography Book Marks Author Info "Skinny Legs and All" It had been awhile since I read a Tom Robbins novel when I picked this one up. Oh, what a pleasure to read his quirky, humorous yet intelligent style again. This one is a great story about religions and what they mean to people and more specifically, to objects that are not so inanimate. Pivotal to the story is one belly dancer and just as necessary is one Arab, one Jew, a welder and her artist husband, a can of beans, conch shell, a painted stick, a spoon and a dirty sock. I've read his first three novels, loved them, but I think this one tops them because he's tackling religion and the Middle East.

Cocktail parties of his characters would include outlaws of Woodpecker and cowgirl variety conversing with a former CIA agent and full-time pedophile about duality, perhaps around carafes of Ripple supplied by a middle-aged male countess. Timbuktu University staff (alumni include no less than Robert Anton Wilson, Timothy Leary, Terence McKenna, and John Lilly) listen as a shaman chuckles sublimely. An octogenarian monarch toots cocaine while hobnobbing with a geriatric hacker about authority of choice. Robbins appears, complete with psychology doctorate and a mustache so abused by ponderous munchings it must be thinking of packing up its follicles and moving.

Tom Robbins, Skinny Legs and All (Bantam, 1990) Skinny Legs and All is Tom Robbins' take on Middle Eastern politics and the frenzy of the millenium, seen through the eyes of a silver dessert spoon, a can of pork-n-beans, a dirty sock, a sacred conch shell and a centuries-old painted stick. At least partly. Robbins spends the rest of the novel mocking the New York City art scene, expounding his theories on Goddess religion and Biblical lore, and mixing up a grab-bag of Southern-fried religion and ethnic entrepreneurship. Welcome to the wonderful world of Tom Robbins. The action revolves around Ellen Cherry Charles and Boomer Petway, newlyweds en route from Seattle to the art scene of New York City in an Airstream turkey. Unfortunately, art doesn't bode well for the couple, and wedded bliss soon becomes a wedded mess. Boomer runs off to Jerusalem, where he can weld to his heart's content, while Ellen Cherry takes up waitressing at Isaac and Ishmael's, a restaurant owned by an Arab and a Jew. (Talk about bad ethnic jokes!) But the fun doesn't stop there. Events begin to escalate when a pock-faced Virginian evangelist, intent on rebuilding the Third Temple and ushering in the Second Coming (even if he has to do it by himself), comes to town, and a young Middle-Eastern nursing student named Salome bumps and grinds to the mind-altering Dance of the Seven Veils. In fact, New York City may become more of a war zone than the Holy City itself.

72. How To Write Like Tom Robbins I spent one month working on a screenplay with tom robbins and found out how he writes his books. How to Write Like tom robbins by Michael Dare. http://www.disinfotainmenttoday.com/emulsionalproblems/robbins.htm

How to Write Like Tom Robbins by Michael Dare Fifteen years ago, the phone rang and it was Tom Robbins, one of my all time favorite authors. He had read a script of mine and liked it. He told me he was just getting started on a script of his own when he realized that he didn’t know what he was doing. He had never written in screenplay format before, so he felt the need for someone like me to look over his shoulder while he wrote, just to make sure he didn’t make any embarrassing mistakes. He would pay my way to La Conner, Washington, a small fishing village north of Seattle where he lived. He would put me up in a hotel for a month while he finished the project. I would pick up pages every afternoon and return them the next morning with comments. Was I interested? A year earlier, I had read in the L.A. Times that State Senator Alan Sieroty had passed a bill allowing artists to live in lofts that were zoned for commercial use. This was in reply to the burgeoning artistic community taking over warehouses in downtown L.A. Great, I thought, I’m an artist. I can move into my loft. It was a burden paying rent on two places anyway, so the next month I moved from my home to my studio. A year later, my landlord found out I was living there and decided to throw me out. When I got my eviction notice, it was signed by State Senator Alan Sieroty. I had never known that he was my landlord since I had always paid rent to a corporation.

In 1984, Big Brother controls all thought because he controls all media. That hasn't happened in America because of the Internet, but not for long. From Bush's Master Plan for the Internet : "Bush and his Machiavellian minions will no longer put up with you roaming free into dangerous territory on the Internet. You need to be corralled, electronically tethered, kept away from sites promoting conspiracy theories in other words, information the corporate media, the official US Ministry of Disinformation, does not want you to read or see."

74. Bookreporter.com - VILLA INCOGNITO By Tom Robbins VILLA INCOGNITO tom robbins Bantam Fiction ISBN 0553382195. It has been reported that Tanuki fell from the sky using his scrotum http://www.bookreporter.com/reviews/0553803328.asp

VILLA INCOGNITO Tom Robbins Bantam Fiction ISBN: 0553382195 "It has been reported that Tanuki fell from the sky using his scrotum as a parachute." Are there any other authors with the chutzpah to begin a novel in this manner? Are we in the hands of one of the most inventive and annoying talents writing today? Is it possible to fulfill the audacious promise of such a first sentence? The answers to these questions, I believe, are no, yes, and "Define fulfill." Let me begin by copping to the charge of being an inveterate Robbins fan. First I named a car, and then a daughter Amanda, after the heroine of Robbins's 1971 novel, ANOTHER ROADSIDE ATTRACTION. And I've jumped on all of his other wild roller coaster rides, always amused and impressed, but pausing occasionally to wonder whether there's a point. Or rather, which of the many points about spirit, sex and government is meant to be the theme. VILLA INCOGNITO is no exception. It concerns the ancestry of an Asian circus performer named Lisa Ko (hint: the well endowed Tanuki is involved) and the fates of three American MIA's whose secret palace across a misty gorge in the Laos village of Fan Nan Nan gives the novel its name. The Smarty Pants gang, as Mars Albert Stubblefield, Dickie Goldwire and Dern Foley were known in Vietnam, was shot down over Laos in 1973. When they escaped the POW camp, they made their way to the highlands. They liked it so much that they never got around to leaving. The main narrative concerns Foley's capture by the police, and Stubblefield and Goldwire's reaction to it. It seems the three MIA's had been selling raw opium to furnish their palace and feed their concubines, and now Foley has had the bad grace to be arrested with drugs at the airport.

Interview with Tom Robbins Conducted by Martha Kingsbury In La Conner, Washington March 3, 1984 Preface The following oral history transcript is the result of a tape-recorded interview with Tom Robbins on March 3, 1984. The interview took place in La Conner, WA, and was conducted by Martha Kingsbury for the Archives of American Art, Smithsonian Institution. Interview [Tape 1; side A] MARTHA KINGSBURY: I was just asking Tom Robbins about where he grew up and how he got to the big city and so forth. After going to high school and college a couple years in the South, you ended up in Greenwich Village, when you were around 20years old [born July 22, 1936Ed.]. Is that right? TOM ROBBINS: Yeah. I was really out of place. I mean I really came from the sticks. It was quite an extraordinary experience. MARTHA KINGSBURY: You were starting to tell me that's when you saw your first painting? TOM ROBBINS: Yeah. I'd never seen a painting, in my whole life. MARTHA KINGSBURY: Did you see them in commercial galleries down there, or you went to the museums in the big city? TOM ROBBINS: Saw them mostly in galleries, and almost on the street. I didn't know anything about the Museum of Modern Art.
