<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Robbins calls Jitterbug Perfume "an epic". It is also a saga, and a saga must have a hero. 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 great-horned god. Some people actually believe that the liquid in the bottle is--the secret essence of the universe?<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>Jitterbug Perfume <br></b>is an epic. <p/>Which is to say, it begins in the forests of ancient Bohemia and doesn't conclude until nine o'clock tonight (Paris time). <p/>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. <p/>The bottle is blue, very, very old, and embossed with the image of a goat-horned god. <p/>If the liquid in the bottle actually is 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 or two left.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"<b>Jitterbug Perfume</b> has a large and exotic cast of characters, all of whom are interested in immortality and/or perfume... Go see for yourself; you'll have a good time."--<i>Washington Post</i> <p/>"Robbins again celebrates the joy of individual expression and self-reliance. He lays before us the time honored warts and hairs of the world's philosophies--problems with religion, war, politics, family, marriage and sex--and leaves no twist or turn unstoned. --<i>Saturday Review<br></i><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></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. A Southerner by birth, Robbins has lived in and around Seattle since 1962.
