I've got no clue how his older novels are though - so I'll definitely get Even Cowgirls Get the Blues next! |
R.A. Wilson's
fictional work is
quite similar to Robbins'. Haha, I worship Wilson as well, but more so for his non-fiction. Ironically I always thought of Wilson's
Illuminatus Trilogy as being eerily similar to Douglas Adams'
Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy series.
Edit: My personal recommendations for Robbins' (aside from what you're reading now, which I think is also one of his better novels) are
Cowgirls...,
Jitterbug Perfume, and
Still Life With Woodpecker.
If you want to take on an immensely challenging read, pick up
Half Asleep in Frog Pagamas. It's written entirely in 2nd person!
