Wild Ducks Flying Backward: The Short Writings of Tom Robbins
This delightfully random collection of works created from 1967 to 2005 displays the author’s remarkable talent to write originally and imaginatively about anything from the zeitgeist of the 1960s to the wilds of Tanzania to a simple tomato sandwich. I most enjoyed his travel articles and essay responses to questions including “What was your first outdoor adventure,” “Are you a realist,” and “Do you express your personal political opinions in your novels.” If you’re interested in something decidedly different from the mainstream, Tom Robbins might just be for you.
