Tom Robbins re-reads #1: Skinny Legs and All

Skinny Legs and All by Tom Robbins

January 18, 2021 by zinka 4 Comments

I discovered Tom Robbins on my mom’s bookshelf when I was in High School. A fan herself, she had an assortment of his novels and I devoured, quickly, Even Cowgirls get the Blues followed by the rest of her collection. Cowgirls has remained my favorite of his novels, but I’ve always felt that Skinny Legs and All seemed more important, somehow more serious and more fantastical at the same time, and I always felt like I had learned something from it even if I couldn’t […]

This is the story of a man named Milo. Well, frequently a man, but sometimes a woman, a rabbit, a tree, a fish, a bug- any number of things. Sometimes he’s on earth: the Midwest, Japan, Africa, a top-secret lab in the great plains- and sometimes he’s in space. He’s always in love, but usually in love with Death. Not dying- just one of the many personifications of Death. She’s usually a woman named Suzy, but sometimes she’s a witch, or a candle maker, or […]

  • Emmalita on I hated this book and I could not stop reading itThis is a great review. "Beautifully written, but I hated it" is a real reader dilemma.
  • esmemoria on “As any magician knows, it is not the smoke and mirrors that trick people; it is that the human mind makes assumptions and misunderstands them as truths.”I don't usually like memoirs either, but this one sounds really intriguing.
