Narrative Conducive To Books Half Asleep in Frog Pajamas

Reading Tom Robbins is like reading Hunter S. Thompson. Almost everyone seems to go through that phase at some point, and then eventually that phase ends.

I read every Tom Robbins book up to this one; I've yet to read his latest two (or three, or however many there are). Each of them is fantastic in its own way, although there are some consistencies in his style that are fantastic throughout his books -- his completely mind-blowing use of language in the service of crazy descriptions, analogies, and similes, and his Crazy Theory, that point of each book that would in a more traditional author be the denouement, but in the Robbins oeuvre is where he unveils whatever crackpot (and compelling, if you're predisposed to such thoughts, as I am) theory he's holding on to at the time.

Of the books I've read, Another Roadside Attraction stands out for its audacity; Jitterbug Perfume for the incredible story and writing (I still remember this line from the intro, something that is nearly unprecedented for yours truly, Mr. Swiss Cheese head: "[They] say a story that begins with a beet will end with the devil; that is a risk we will have to take."

Half Asleep in Frog Pajamas, however, is remarkable for two reasons: the "Tom Robbins' Crazy Theory" of the book is both the broadest and craziest of them all, and his use of the second person is a challenging, compelling and ultimately rewarding technique. Who writes in the second person anymore, and of those who do, how many of them choose such an unlikable character to make "you" identify with? Tom Robbins does, and he does it effortlessly well.

Notice Of Books Half Asleep in Frog Pajamas

I'm a big fan of Tom Robbins novels, Im surprised it took me this long to get around to reading this one. It has a very interesting information seeking theme. At first the main character just needs access to financial data, such as a Bloomberg terminal, or perhaps some other commercial electronic resources. In the time of the novel Bloomberg didnt have mobile subscriptions.I like the setting of Seattle, its wet and rainy for most of the book, opposite of my local climate.I enjoyed the outer

In case you didn't pick up on it, my "Full Disclosure" shelf is reserved for those books I find embarrassing to post about - for one reason or another. However, if I'm going to make the jump to share what I've read over the past years, I figure I may as well be honest.This was actually my favorite of the "Tom Robbins" phase. Now, I hate him. It's always the same fucking story with this guy: down-and-out lady meets mystery man who imparts wisdom, solves problems, and then does her - in very

I just re-read this book after like 10 years and I loved it so much more. The characters were as I remembered them, but I noticed so many things that I didn't remember were in this book.. like the whole subject of biodiversity and ecological stuff that I probably didn't really notice before..And I noticed this time around that most of it seems like Terrence McKenna was in the room when it was written.. I really needed a good dose of all that don't fall for the bullshit and it's not what it seems

Disasters always best when its on a grand scale. and the scale certainly is grand in Tom Robbins rollicking riot of a novel. It opens with the beginning of a disastrous three-day weekend for one Gwendolyn Mati, a lovingly unlikable stockbroker whose ambitions are sky high and whose perceptions seem hopelessly shallow. It is the night before Good Friday and there has been a disastrous plunge in the stock market that has the whole economy screaming disaster, and Gwen finds herself facing

Tom Robbins' sixth novel is a departure for the brilliant yet confounding author. Unlike his previous five books, this one stays the course with one main story, focused exclusively on one main character. Making matters more different than his previous work, the entire novel takes place over one weekend, and almost performs as a traditional romantic comedy. With this unusually intense focus, and the limited, claustrophobic time structure, one would think that Tom Robbins could turn out a whammy



I kinda remember Robbins from the late 1970s and there seemed to be a couple books that were elevated to new classics (Jitterbug Perfume and Even Cowgirls Get the Blues) or perhaps they were on the 1001 books to read before you die list. This cannot be on that list. The story was fine, but near the end Robbins spends at least 50 pages discussing the theory that aliens in the form of amphibians landed on earth in the past and we are descended from fish. This is in the form of a conversation, not
