![]() ![]() A few tears does not an episode of weeping make - it’s those kinds of nuances Robbins happily points out (it’s draperies, not drapes) - but it did make me think that I’ve got a long way to go if I’m ever going put out a masterpiece like Jitterbug Perfume. Did I think it would make me weep? Technically, it didn’t. There are too many other books out there and despite the deliciousness of the first reading, I feel it indulgent to circle back, but it had been thirty years since I first read Jitterbug Perfume so I allowed this one decadent revisit. How can the rest of us even hope to compete? I rarely read a book twice. ![]() ![]() I just finished rereading Jitterbug Perfume by Tom Robbins and not only did I shed a tear of joy for the rowdy and philosophical magnificence of this book, but there went a second one for the lusty, enigmatic curiosity with which Robbins imbues all of his work, plus the man has a knack for simile and metaphor that’s unbeatable. What the heck, I may as well pack it in right now. ![]()
