About this listen

With his most famous novel, this is Tom Robbins at his offbeat, outrageous, and inventive best.

Introducing Sissy Hankshaw—an almost flawlessly beautiful small-town girl with big-time dreams—who hitchhikes her way into your heart, your hopes, and your sleeping bag. Along her travels, meet such unforgettable characters as Bonanza Jellybean and the smooth-riding cowgirls of Rubber Rose Ranch; the unfortunately named Chink, a lascivious guru of yams and yang; Julian, an asthmatic esthete and husband by disposition; and Dr. Robbins, a preventive psychiatrist and reality instructor. Follow Sissy's amazing odyssey from Virginia to chic Manhattan to the Dakota Badlands, where FBI agents, cowgirls, and ecstatic whooping cranes explode in a deliciously drawn-out climax.

Tom Robbins conjures all feelings at once, including mirth. This was a wonderful experience, beyond that of most fiction.

My only conplaint is a constant faint echo within the recording, which is a pity, as the voice actor is superb. I could switch off to the background sound, but some might find it a bit frustrating.

Beautiful, deep, hilarious
