Pressestimmen
"Jitterbug Perfume has a large and exotic cast of characters, all of whom are interested in immortality and/or perfume... Go see for yourself; you'll have a good time."—Washington Post
“Robbins again celebrates the joy of individual expression and self-reliance. He lays before us the time honored warts and hairs of the world’s philosophies—problems with religion, war, politics, family, marriage and sex—and leaves no twist or turn unstoned. —Saturday Review

Kurzbeschreibung
Jitterbug Perfume
is an epic.
Which is to say, it begins in the forests of ancient Bohemia and doesn’t conclude until nine o’clock tonight (Paris time).
It is a saga, as well. A saga must have a hero, and the hero of this one is a janitor with a missing bottle.
The bottle is blue, very, very old, and embossed with the image of a goat-horned god.
If the liquid in the bottle actually is the secret essence of the universe, as some folks seem to think, it had better be discovered soon because it is leaking and there is only a drop or two left.

Having read "Another Roadside Attraction," I was eager to get right into my next Tom Robbins book. This novel takes everything one could want in a fictional work and presents it to you in a way that only the amazingly witty Tom Robbins can present it. This story centers around a journey by one man and his quest for immortality over a period of a millenium and ties in the present day workings of perfumeries in New Orleans and Paris. The characters are interesting, humorous, and full of emotion. The story is an adventurous quest for self-realization that all men must go through, taken to the extreme. If u enjoy a good read and a book that's hard to put down until it's done, Jitterbug Perfume is one of the best.

I am a newcomer to the world of Tom Robbins. I always heard of him but I really didn't know what his style was like. One day on my way home from work there was a guy reading this book on the subway. He kept laughing to himself as he read this book, so i had no choice but to read it myself to see what all the fuss was about. I must say there were many more elements of fantasy than i figured, but what a story! Who comes up with this stuff? It's somewhere between a forth grade fairy tale and a Vonnegut masterpiece. A definite recommendation to any fans of the surreal and the fantastic. 4 1/2 Stars.

It's incredible that this book was first published in 1984 and still attracts a constant new stream of excited converts. Although the can 'o beans, stick, conche shell and spoon of 'Skinny Legs and All' give us all a good reason to persevere, it's Jitterbug's bloody red beet and the mysterious blue bottle that really tell us something is going on.
As for me, I've been half asleep myself since 'Frog Pajamas' and wait readlessly for the next Robbins journey. Junkie that I am, I just can't seem to read anything else. I'm hooked.
If you're looking for a oddysey to lift you out of 21st century techo tripe and make you laugh out loud at life, this is your book.
Tom Robbins has the most wonderful way of illustrating life in all it's quirky glory and reminding us to lighten up.
