Even Cowgirls Get the Blues -- Tom Robbins

<b>"This is one of those special novels--a piece of working magic, warm, funny, and sane."--Thomas Pynchon</b> <p/>The whooping crane rustlers are girls. Young girls. Cowgirls, as a matter of fact, all "bursting with dimples and hormones"--and the FBI has never seen anything quite like them. Yet their rebellion at the Rubber Rose Ranch is almost overshadowed by the arrival of the legendary Sissy Hankshaw, a white-trash goddess literally born to hitchhike, and the freest female of them all. <p/>Freedom, its prizes and its prices, is a major theme of Tom Robbins's classic tale of eccentric adventure. As his robust characters attempt to turn the tables on fate, the reader is drawn along on a tragicomic joyride across the badlands of sexuality, wild rivers of language, and the frontiers of the mind.<br><br><b>Author:</b> Tom Robbins<br><b>Publisher:</b> Bantam<br><b>Published:</b> 04/01/1990<br><b>Pages:</b> 384<br><b>Binding Type:</b> Paperback<br><b>Weight:</b> 0.65lbs<br><b>Size:</b> 8.22h x 5.32w x 0.84d<br><b>ISBN:</b> 9780553349498<br><p><b>About the Author</b><br>Tom Robbins has been called "a vital natural resource" by <i>The Oregonian</i>, "one of the wildest and most entertaining novelists in the world" by the <i>Financial Times</i> of London, and "the most dangerous writer in the world today" by Fernanda Pivano of Italy's Corriere della Sera.
