   Extractions: 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 .

Jitterbug Perfume new! Rating: 7.00 Review It Kinnic Phan 12-Jul-2000 ) Hardly a pure science, history is closer to animal husbandry than it is to mathematics, in that it involves selective breeding. The principal difference between the husbandryman and the historian is that the former breeds sheep or cows or such, and the latter breeds (assumed) facts. The husbandryman uses his skills to enrich the future; the historian uses his to enrich the past. Both are usually up to their ankles in bullshit.

   Extractions: Nová dávka inteligentního a provokujícího poètení od Amerièana Toma Robbinse Tom Robbins V žabím pyžamu . Pøeložil Martin Šilar , doslov Pavel Mandys . Argo, Praha 2002, 370 stran, náklad a cena neuvedeny Román V žabím pyžamu je v posledních šesti letech už šestým do èeštiny pøeloženým dílem amerického prozaika Toma Robbinse . Kniha, jejíž originál vyšel v roce 1994, je pro autora typická: jak situováním dìje, tak postavami, kterými jej vyplnil. Pro ty, kdo však o tomto autorovi slyší poprvé, nejprve drobný exkurz, který snad naznaèí dosti ojedinìlé postavení Robbinse v americkém písemnictví a tamìjší (pop)kultuøe. Polotajemný muž s brýlemi Tom Robbins, dnes už šedesátník, autor takových dìl jako I na kovbojky obèas padne smutek Parfém bláznivého starce Další dálnièní atrakce èi Zátiší s Datlem , je jakousi umírnìnou obdobou geniálního výstøedníka soudobé americké literatury Thomase Pynchona Když šla burza do kolen Ale teï obrame pozornost k románu V žabím pyžamu . Jeho protagonistka Gvendolína, mladá makléøka èásteènì filipínského pùvodu, jejíž oba rodièe byli skuteèní bohémové, žije a pracuje v souèasném Seattlu. Gvendolína je ukázkovým ztìlesnìním konformity. By si i uvìdomuje vratkost amerického snu nebo tìsné sepjetí americké politiky s ekonomikou (a tudíž s možnou válkou), neodchyluje se od takzvané dominantní konsenzuální reality. Jak ostatnì praví první vìta pøíbìhu nezvykle agresivnì vyprávìného v 2. osobì: "Den, kdy burza cenných papírù ulehla na smrtelné lože, ti pøijde jako nejhorší den tvého života." Pøesto hrdinka je - aniž by chtìla - pomalu zasvìcována do teorie svìta, jež operuje s termíny vìtšina, menšina, kontrola èi spiknutí (a nápadnì tak pøipomíná Oidipu Maasovou z Pynchonovy

   Extractions: "Tohle je ten nejhorší den mýho života," øekneš a do sklenièky dvojitého martini - za ménì chmurných dní piješ bílé víno - hodíš pražený burák a pozoruješ, jak se zvolna po spirále snáší ke dnu. Klesá o poznání ladnìji a pomaleji než tvoje hroutící se úspory a na slaném povrchu se pøitom tvoøí krásné malé bublinky, výrazný protiklad k boulím a ranám, které dopadají na tvoje ubohé srdce. Od krachu na burze ubìhly tøi hodiny a vydìšený, pøípadnì hysterický povyk v nacpaném lokálu se zaèíná zvolna promìòovat v ponìkud tlumenìjší šum záchranných strategií a cynického vtipkování. Ty se ale neúèastníš ani zoufalých manévrù, ani pøedstíraného veselí. Držíš pøedèasnì šedivìjící hlavu v dlaních a poøád dokola si opakuješ: "Tohle je ten nejhorší den mýho života."

20. BookPage Interview May 2000: Tom Robbins
    Tom Robbins an outrageous writer in a politically correct era INTERVIEWBY MICHAEL SIMS. Tom Robbins believes in truth in advertising.  
    http://www.bookpage.com/0005bp/tom_robbins.html
    
    Extractions: Tom Robbins: an outrageous writer in a politically correct era INTERVIEW BY MICHAEL SIMS Tom Robbins believes in truth in advertising. His novels lure the adventurous and warn the timid with outrageous titles, which accurately predict outrageousness within. Even Cowgirls Get the Blues, Still Life with Woodpecker, Half Asleep in Frog Pajamas, Skinny Legs and All these are not your usual well-behaved titles of popular novels. You won't see Robbins calling his books The Firm or The Notebook. But for sheer mouthful of chewy syllables, you can't beat the title of Robbins's latest novel Fierce Invalids Home from Hot Climates . It doesn't exactly roll off the tongue; however, it's more appealing than the rejected working title, Syrup of Wahoo. In a recent interview, Robbins explained that he changed the first title because he didn't like the misleading connotations of sweetness ("while the book is upbeat and exuberant, it decidedly is not sweet") and because he kept having to explain to Generation X friends that "wahoo" was a cry of exhilaration that did not require "a dot and a com" after it. Robbins says he took the title from his own translation of a line from a Rimbaud poem. "While it has quite literal significance within the context of my plot," he adds, "it has wider meanings, as well. All of us who've managed to survive intense love affairs, political confrontations, or periods of personal debauchery might be said to be fierce invalids home from hot climates."
