Book Hero thinking about your next read

Switters is a contradiction for all seasons: an anarchist who works for the government, a pacifist who carries a gun, a vegetarian who sops up ham gravy. Yet there is nothing limp about Switters. He doesn't merely pack a pistol. He is a pistol. As we follow Switters across four continents Robbins explores, challenges and celebrates...

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

Fierce Invalids Home from Hot Climates is a 'B' format edition of Tom Robbins' most recent novel, released alongside re-issues of Still Life with Woodpecker and Jitterbug Perfume, both also in 'B' format editions.

Tom Robbins has a grasp on things that dazzle the brain, and he's also a world-class storyteller.

"In his seventh, and perhaps most complex novel to date, Robbins shines as brilliantly as he has in the past... superb social commentary." - New York Post
