For some reason though, Fierce Invalids reminds me of old bob (robert anton wilson) with his Illuminatus/Schrodinger's Cat trilogy. similar story telling; a great sense of humor and the ability to seamlessly relate two completely different things! Maybe they'd make a good pair?
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!
