Wild Ducks Flying Backward

topic posted Thu, May 19, 2005 - 8:32 PM by  Rio
Set to be published on August 30, although new copies can be ordered on eBay for the impetuous. General excitement brewing? Is anybody else lighting another candle on a 101-pronged candelabra each evening in preparation? Shouldn't you?

From noexit.co.uk:

"From beloved and best-selling novelist Tom Robbins comes a collection of non-fiction essays and short fiction, many in print for the first time ever! From tributes such as an ode to redheads, kissing, Diane Keaton, Leonard Cohen, tomato sandwiches and The Doors - to musings, travel essays and art critiques, from short stories to poems and country song lyrics - this is a real treat for Tom's numerous and loyal fans."

    Many moons later...what is the consensus? I wasn't exactly enthralled with it. Maybe he should just hang it up, quit before he slides down too low. Villa Incognito was a near-total disappointment, just a shadow of a TR escapade. How could he ever top Jitterbug Perfume or Fierce Invalids? With a collection of previously published magazine stories? I think not. Sorry, Tom. You got something to write, I'll read it, but the next one I'll check out from the library.
