Extractions: Treatment of the Physically Handicapped As shown in Tom Robbinss Even Cowgirls Get the Blues Erin Conery 23 April, 2001 Dont you see that it doesnt matter what activity Sissy chose? It doesnt matter what activity anyone chooses. If you take any activity, any art, any discipline, any skill, take it and push it as far as it will go, push it beyond where it has ever been before, push it to the wildest edge of edges, then you force it in to the realm of magic. And it doesnt matter what it is that you select, because when it has been pushed far enough it contains everything else . . . Im talking about taking one thing, however trivial and mundane, to such extremes that you illuminate its relationship to all other things, and then taking it a little bit furtherto that point of cosmic impact where it becomes all other things. Dr. Robbins When Sissy realized what Miss Leonard meant by a "special" dance where she would "feel comfortable" was a dance for children with handicaps, she screamed, "IM NOT HANDICAPPED, GODDAMN IT" (41)!! The other children stared at her in awe, and then one by one began to clap. They were applauding Sissys conviction in telling Miss Leonard what they all wanted to tell the Miss Leonards, doctors, parents, and peers in their own lives. She had made a statement true not only to herself, but also for the way the many people society term handicapped feel. Guy L. Vollmar, a deaf man, said in an interview recorded in

Extractions: Feminism in Tom Robbins Even Cowgirls Get the Blues Melinda Nelson English 343 April 23, 2001 In the novel, Even Cowgirls Get the Blues by Tom Robbins, Sissy Hankshaw is a young woman who gets introduced to the world via hitchhiking. From the beginning of the novel, Sissys sexuality is foreshadowed. She goes with her mother to see a psychic, Madame Zoe. When asked if Sissy will ever get married, Madame Zoe replies, "There is most clearly a marriage. A husband, no doubt about it, though he is years awayThere are children, too. Five, maybe six. But the husband is not the father. They will inherit your characteristics" (Robbins 33). There is also a lot of defying of traditional gender roles in this novel. Sissy hitchhikes all over the eastern United States by herself. Her self-reliance and determination was previously thought to be more of a male characteristic. Along these lines it is also relevant to use Feminist Literary Criticism to assess this novel. Even Cowgirls Get the Blues and its main character, Sissy Hankshaw epitomize the change in women and sex roles in the late 1960s and 1970s.

"Sex, drugs, and rock 'n' roll are enormously popular in the CIA", claims Switters. "Not with all the agents in the field, but with the good ones, the brightest and the best". Switters isn't really an invalid, but during his first mission (to set free his ornery grandma's parrot, Sailor, in the Amazon jungle), he gets zapped by a spell cast by a "misshapen shaman". The shaman is reminiscent of Carlos Castaneda's giggly guru, but his head is pyramid-shaped. In return for a mind-bending trip into cosmic truth"the Hallways of Always"Switters must not let his foot touch the earth, or he'll die.

Extractions: February 12 - 18, 2003 t was a year ago this month that former Giuliani aide Russell Harding left his job as head of a city housing agency, but the cost of repairing the damage that occurred during his reign there continues to mount. To date, the New York City Housing Development Corporationwhose funds are supposed to be used to finance affordable housinghas spent more than $388,000 for a high-powered private law firm to conduct an internal investigation of fiscal abuses that occurred under Harding. Much of the scrutiny has been on Harding's profligate spending spree, in which he and a top aide splurged more than $250,000 on lavish dining, posh resorts, and gifts to friends. The probe has also focused on the policies and procedures that allowed Harding to plunder the corporation's expense accounts without setting off any in-house alarm bells. Voice won an 18-month tug-of-war to obtain Harding's expense records under the Freedom of Information Law.
How To Write Like Tom Robbins
How to Write Like tom robbins by Michael Dare. Fifteen years ago, the phonerang and it was tom robbins, one of my all time favorite authors.
http://www.wga.org/craft/robbins.html

Extractions: 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.

Extractions: Sean T. Anderson Note on Notes: All hypertext numbers in this text link to a page containing all 24 endnotes. Some of the notes are supporting (somewhat related) textual information, and some are simply reference citations. When, in 1960, Leslie Fiedler wrote in his encyclopedic essay Love and Death in the American Novel that outright discussions or acts of sexuality were conspicuously absent from American novels, the country had just come out of the fifties, considered by some to be the most rigidly moralistic and "family values" oriented of all decades since the Puritans were burning witches in Salem. It was a decade when service station attendants still ran at the beginning of the bell's ring to wash your car windows and check your oil without short-sticking it. The novels he reviewed were, doubtless, representative of American culture up to his time, but in the sixties the people of the counterculture left the safety of their downtown coffeehouses to become "agitators" at suburban universities with their own brand of religion. It was, at the time, distinctly un-American: It was religion of the self, religion of the east, religion of anything that was not the religion of the parents and the parents' parents. They were against the war in Vietnam (but not the marijuana that the war brought home); they were against the "norms" of society, and the women burned their bras to show they weren't going to carry on their parents' apathy and trust in "the way things were supposed to be." But what the sixties is most famous for is what every pubescent boy wishes would return as he thumbs clumsily through his dad's

Extractions: 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."

Extractions: reprinted entirely without permission; go buy the book if you can At best, perhaps, when the fourth veil does slip aside, Spike and Abu will be better prepared than most to withstand the shock of this tough truth: religion is a paramount contributor to human misery. It is not merely the opium of the masses, it is the cyanide. A longing for the divine is intrinsic in Homo Sapiens. (For all we know, it is innate in squirrels, dandelions, and diamond rings as well.) We approach the Divine by enlarging our souls and lighting up our brains. To expedite those two things may be the mission of our existence. Religion is nothing but institutionalized mysticism. The catch is, mysticism does not lend itself to institutionalization. The moment we attempt to organize mysticism, we destroy its essence. Religion, then, is mysticism in which the mystical has been killed. Or, at least diminished.

http://www.rambles.net/robbins_skinny.html

Extractions: 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.
