ABOUT THE AUTHOR

ABOUT THE BOOK

Jitterbug Perfume is an epic. Which is to say, it begins in the forests of ancient Bohemia and doesn't conclude until nine o'clock tonight [Paris time]. It is a saga, as well. A saga must have a hero, and the hero of this one is a janitor with a missing bottle. The bottle is blue, very, very old, and embossed with the image of a goat-horned god. If the liquid in the bottle is actually the secret essence of the universe, as some folks seem to think, it had better be discovered soon because it is leaking and there is only a drop of two left.

CRITICAL ACCLAIM

'an extraordinary piece of comic writing combined with the ability to make a short paperback book travel over a period of a thousand years tracing the life of Pan, the god of nature. It's amazing.'
- Toyah Wilcox, Guardian Unlimited

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

'This crazy masterpiece of a novel will leave you laughing - inside and out - for weeks.'
