The Resource Robbins, Tom, 1932-

Description: Tom Robbins is the clown prince of the literary counterculture, a freewheeling raconteur whose anti-establishment message champions environmental harmony, consciousness-raising, and freedom from societal, religious and sexual repression and oppression. His works draw on an eclectic array of inspirations, including feminism, Zen Buddhism, pragmatism, primitivism, and his own bright irony and joyous sense of the absurd. Building interesting, if wacky, plots on these themes and attitudes, he appeals to readers who appreciate his trickster philosophy amply illustrated by the screwball antics, zany characters, irrepressible one-liners and word play that run rampant throughout his work.
