In Jitterbug Perfume, he reduces the world to its basic essences - sex, smells, selfishness - and does so through characters who are caricatures of ourselves: caricatures because they will say what our hormone-saturated body parts long to say and ask what our higher-order neurons long to ask.
His cockamamie imagery will make you simultaneously chuckle and cringe with nervous excitement as you realize life is actually as upside-down as he portrays it in fiction. Tom Robbins has a talent for witty prose that borders on the obscenely poetic.
