Even Cowgirls Get the Blues

Tom Robbins

Even Cowgirls Get the Blues tells the story of Sissy Hankshaw, a woman born with a mutation (though she would not call it a defect nor a mutation; she would call it a gift) giving her enormously large thumbs. The novel is a transgressive romp, covering topics from free love to drug use and political rebellion to animal rights and body odor and religions. Sissy makes the most of her thumbs by becoming a hitchhiker. Her travels take her to New York, where she becomes a model for the Countess, a male homosexual tycoon of feminine hygiene products, who introduces her to the man whom she will marry, a staid Mohawk named Julian Gitche. In her later travels she encounters, among many others, a sexually open cowgirl named Bonanza Jellybean and an itinerant escapee from the Japanese internment camps happily mislabeled "the Chink." Robbins finally inserts himself into the novel as a character as well.   źródło opisu: No Exit Press, 2001 źródło okładki: http://www.noexit.co.uk/titles.php/itemcode/22
