Descrizione libro Softcover. Condizione: new. Product DescriptionThis is one of those special novels-a piece of working magic, warm, funny, and sane.-Thomas PynchonThe whooping crane rustlers are girls. Young girls. Cowgirls, as a matter of fact, all bursting with dimples and hormones-and the FBI has never seen anything quite like them. Yet their rebellion at the Rubber Rose Ranch is almost overshadowed by the arrival of the legendary Sissy Hankshaw, a white-trash goddess literally born to hitchhike, and the freest female of them all.Freedom, its prizes and its prices, is a major theme of Tom Robbinss classic tale of eccentric adventure. As his robust characters attempt to turn the tables on fate, the reader is drawn along on a tragicomic joyride across the badlands of sexuality, wild rivers of language, and the frontiers of the mind.ReviewThis is one of those special novels-a piece of working magic, warm, funny, and sane-that you just want to ride off into the sunset with.-Thomas PynchonThe best fiction, so far, to come out of the American counterculture.-Chicago Tribune Book WorldEven Cowgirls Get the Blues comes as a magical gift, a brilliant affirmation of private visions and private wishes and their power to transform life and death.-The NationFrom the Inside Flapsy Hanshaw--flawlessly beautiful, almost.

It has to be.Spiders, mice, cold drafts, splinters, corncobs, habitual stenches don't make it in this company. The hands have renovated and decorated the privy themselves. Foam rubber, hanging flower pots, a couple of prints by Georgia O'Keeffe (her cow skull period), fluffy carpeting, Sheetrock insulation, ashtrays, and incense burner, a fly strip, a photograph of Dale Evans about which there is some controversy. There is even a radio in the outhouse, although the radio station in the area plays nothing but polkas.Of course, the ranch has indoor facilities, flush toilets in regular bathrooms, but they'd been stopped up during the revolution and nobody had ever unstopped them. Plumbing was one thing the girls were poor at. Nearest Roto-Rooter man was thirty miles. Weren't any Roto-Rooter women anywhere, as far as they knew.Jelly is sitting in the outhouse. She has been sitting there longer than necessary. The door is wid. Codice articolo DADAX055334949X
