Even Cowgirls Get the Blues by Tom Robbins
A classic tale of eccentric adventure from the New York Times bestselling author of Still Life with Woodpecker"This is one of those special novels-a piece of working magic, warm, funny, and sane."-Thomas Pynchon
"Even Cowgirls Get the Blues comes as a magical gift, a brilliant affirmation of private visions and private wishes and their power to transform life and death."-The Nation
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.
Freedom, its prizes and its prices, is a major theme of Even Cowgirls Get the Blues. As Tom Robbins's 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.
Thomas Robbins is a Ph.D. recipient. from the University of North Carolina with a bachelor's degree in sociology. He has taught or worked as a researcher at a number of universities. Cults, Converts, and Charisma, as well as Church-State Relations, are two of his books.
