J is for July

Tom Robbins, author of our book selection for July, is a challenge to summarize from sources other than Wiki. He was born in Blowing Rock, NC in 1936 and has published a number of novels with witty titles including Fierce Invalids Home from Hot Climates, Jitterbug Perfume, Still Life with Woodpecker, Skinny Legs and All, and Even Cowgirls Get the Blues. If you would like to get a feel for his voice and a few minutes’ insight into his personality, I’m listing below a few links to peruse.

• Interview in late April 2009 by Minnesota Public Radio
• Anecdote (in two parts) about a trip to Cuba with James Lee Stanley
• Interview from January Magazine discussing Fierce Invalids…
  

I'm looking forward to the read.
