ABOUT THE BOOK

Still Life with Woodpecker is sort of a love story that takes place inside a pack of Camel cigarettes. It reveals the purpose of the moon, explains the difference between criminals and outlaws, examines the conflict between social activism and romantic individualism, and paints a portrait of contemporary society that includes powerful Arabs, exiled royalty, and pregnant cheerleaders. It also deals with the problem of redheads.

CRITICAL ACCLAIM

'Tom Robbins has a grasp on things that dazzles the brain and he's also a world-class storyteller' - Thomas Pynchon

Reader's Review

Eli Vetcherebin read Still Life With Woodpecker and was moved to send in these comments:

Simply the best book I have ever lay my hands on! I have only read one other book that comes sort of close to the ideas and goals of still-life: Kurt Vonnegut's "Sirens of Titans". Go out and buy them both right now, don't even bother taking them from the library to "give them a try." Believe a reader of 3 books a week for 6 years that these are the best books ever published by man/woman or extraterrestrial creature.
