Tom Robbins From Wikiquote Jump to: navigation search Tom Robbins (born in Blowing Rock, North Carolina) is an American novelist. His novels are complex, often wild stories with strong social undercurrents and obscure but well-researched details. Contents Sourced Another Roadside Attraction (1971) Even Cowgirls Get the Blues (1976) Still Life with Woodpecker (1980) ... edit Sourced edit Another Roadside Attraction When a man confines an animal in a cage, he assumes ownership of that animal. But an animal is an individual; it cannot be owned. When a man tries to own an individual, whether that individual be another man, an animal or even a tree, he suffers the psychic consequences of an unnatural act. edit Even Cowgirls Get the Blues Sometimes those things that attract the most attention to us are the things that afford us the greatest privacy. Fire is the reuniting of matter with oxygen. If one bears that in mind, every blaze may be seen as a reunion, an occasion of chemical joy. So you think that you're a failure, do you? Well, you probably are. What's wrong with that? In the first place, if you've any sense at all you must have learned by now that we pay just as dearly for our triumphs as we do for our defeats. Go ahead and fail. But fail with wit, fail with grace, fail with style. A mediocre failure is as insufferable as a mediocre success. Embrace failure! Seek it out. Learn to love it. That may be the only way any of us will ever be free.

Tom Robbins Siwash Ridge had become as quiet and inanimate as the geology book that might describe its formations. Indian summer, the ham, was taking yet another curtain call, and the hills, warmed into an expansive mood, heaped bouquets of asters at its feet. Goldenrod, too. And butterfly weed. Giant sunflowers, like junkie scarecrows on the nod, dozed in one spot with their dry heads drooped upon their breastbones. Their lives extended another day, flies buzzed everything within their range, monotonously eulogizing themselves, like the patriots who persist in praising the glory of a culture long after it is decadent and doomed. from Even Cowgirls Get the Blues Known for his offbeat plots and inventive style, the American novelist Thomas Eugene Robbins , b. Blowing Rock, N.C., 1936, is widely read by high school and college students. After attending several colleges, Robbins worked as a copy editor for three newspapersthe Richmond Times-Dispatch , the Seattle Times (where he was also art critic), and the Seattle Post-Intelligencer .

By Tracy Johnson March 9, 2000 W riters can be defined by their fans. Die-hard Tom Robbins fans dwell in the outer reaches of the Internet, swapping recipes inspired by his books. They trade his novels on chicken buses crawling through Third World countries. They want to climb inside the books, light up a joint and join the fun. I met one of them a few years ago in a London pub. He was American, about 45 years old, with long, scraggly gray hair. We somehow got on the topic of Robbins' books and he told me that he thought he was Alobar, a 1,000-year-old janitor that stars in Robbins' fifth novel, "Jitterbug Perfume."

15. Interview | Tom Robbins Though he writes as eloquently on the topic of paradox as he does everything else he s tackled, tom robbins is himself a study in contradictions. http://januarymagazine.com/profiles/robbins.html

Novels by Tom Robbins: Another Roadside Attraction Even Cowgirls Get the Blues Still-Life with Woodpecker Jitterbug Perfume Skinny Legs and All Half Asleep In Frog Pajamas "I think too much is known about me already. I think biographical information can get in the way of the reading experience. The interchange between the reader and the work. For example, I know far too much about Norman Mailer and Kurt Vonnegut. Because I know as much as I do about their personal lives, I can't read their work without this interjecting itself. So if I had it to do over, I'd probably go the way of J.D. Salinger or Thomas Pynchon. And just stay out of it altogether and let all the focus be on the work itself and not on me." Switters had long ago come to accept if not appreciate the fact that he himself was a study in contradictions, blaming the incongruities in his personality on his having been born on the cusp between Cancer and Leo, pulled in opposite directions by lunar and solar forces (that he maintained severe reservations about the reliability of astrology only reinforced the evidence). Now, he was starting to notice glaring inconsistencies in Bobby, as well. Maybe most people were fundamentally contradictory. The real people, at any rate. Maybe those among us ever steadfast and predictable, those whose yang did not intermittently slop over into their yin...
