From Amazon.com: 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 is actually is the secret essence of the universe, as some folks seem to think, it had better be discovered soon becaused it is leaking and there is only a drop of two left.

My comments: My 2nd favorite Robbins' book (the 1st being Even Cowgirls Get the Blues).

Recieved it yesterday. I´m very eager to read it but have to finish the other book I´m currently reading first.
Many thanks to Jherusalem! I´m almost certain I will enjoy this book immensly.
I´ll check back when I´m done with it.
Till then,
Take care,

This book left me breathless, confused, overwhelmed, amused....
This is weird stuff. For sure! But then again what do you expect of a Tom Robbins book?.... Exactly!
That having said, I loved it!
Providing a short review of this book is out of my reach, tho (and wouldn´t do justice to it IMO, anyway). So you just have to see for yerself! You won´t regret it!
And the beet goes on....;-) hopefully covering space and time as easily as Robbins in "Jitterbug Perfume".

Thanks to Jherusalem again for sending it to me!

Just received in the mail yesterday... Can't wait to read it. Thanks for sharing!
