Jitterbug Perfume is an epic. Which is to say, it begins in the forests of ancient Bohemia and doesn’t conclude until nine o’clock tonight (Paris time).
It is a saga, as well. A saga must have a hero and the hero of this one is a janitor with a missing bottle. The bottle is blue, very, very old and embossed with the image of a goat horned god.
If the liquid in the bottle actually is the secret essence of the Universe, as some folks seem to think, it had to be discovered soon because it is leaking and there is only a drop or two left.
Yes,Tom Robbins is at it again. And, while JITTERBUG PERFUME is quite different from his other novels, it, like the others, sparkles with original insights, wild ideas, erotic juices, prose poems, extraordinary characters, sermonettes, surprises and sacred monkey-shines.
Sacred monkey-shines?
Yes, indeed, Tom Robbins is at it again.
But with new dimensions.
