Über diesen Titel

With his most famous novel, this is Tom Robbins at his offbeat, outrageous, and inventive best.

Introducing Sissy Hankshaw—an almost flawlessly beautiful small-town girl with big-time dreams—who hitchhikes her way into your heart, your hopes, and your sleeping bag. Along her travels, meet such unforgettable characters as Bonanza Jellybean and the smooth-riding cowgirls of Rubber Rose Ranch; the unfortunately named Chink, a lascivious guru of yams and yang; Julian, an asthmatic esthete and husband by disposition; and Dr. Robbins, a preventive psychiatrist and reality instructor. Follow Sissy's amazing odyssey from Virginia to chic Manhattan to the Dakota Badlands, where FBI agents, cowgirls, and ecstatic whooping cranes explode in a deliciously drawn-out climax.

Kritikerstimmen

"This is one of those special novels - a piece of working magic, warm, funny, and sane - that you just want to ride off into the sunset with." (Thomas Pynchon)

I didn't like first few chapters to be honest, but once I got used to the writing stil and started to enjoy it. The book offers more and more as it goes on, often surprising me with its turns and connections. Certainly a book to challenge our fixed mindsets and norms we don't realise we have. Something different where not only the connections of topics but also the writing is an art class by itself.

A Weird Surprise

It’s a strange book. It took a bit to get into but it’s deep if you let it be. Listen to it last year and still think about it from time to time.
Classic hippie book

Love it

Though I was very interested in the story I would not recommend to listen to this, rather read that book - especially if you are not an English native speaker (as I am). The story is extremely dense, there are numerous word games and allegations, the mere plot is by far not the main thing that matters here. You end up rewinding a lot, which is not as easy as turning pages back when you read it as a printed copy or on an ebook reader.

Better read this one than listen to it
