About this listen

 Sissy Hankshaw, an almost flawlessly beautiful small-town girl with big-time dreams, hitchhikes her way into your heart, your hopes, and your sleeping bag in Tom Robbins's magical, funny, and most famous novel. Follow Sissy's amazing odyssey from Virginia to chic Manhattan to the Dakota Badlands, where FBI agents, cowgirls, and ecstatic whooping cranes explode in a deliciously drawn-out climax. Along the way, you'll meet such unforgettable characters as Bonanza Jellybean and the smooth-riding cowgirls of Rubber Rose Ranch; Chink, the lascivious guru of yams and yang; Julian, an asthmatic Mohawk; and Dr. Robbins, the preventive psychiatrist and reality instructor. Even Cowgirls Get the Blues is Tom Robbins at his offbeat, outrageous, and inventive best.©1976 by Thomas Robbins (P)1993 Dove Audio, Inc. Action & Adventure Genre Fiction Literary Fiction Literature & Fiction Metaphysical & Visionary Satire

Critic reviews

"This 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 Pynchon)

I’ve read 4 or 5 of his books and have enjoyed them but this one seems like a lot of writer indulgence. I got bored with all the unnecessary words even though I liked the concept, plot and characters.

Not my favourite Robbins

Quite a hard story to follow, but worth the roller coaster. Some life changing one liners, as always.

Legendary Tom Robbins nonsense and profundity. Great listen.

I had heard of this book, and was aware it had been made into a pretty poor film, but that was about it. I had been reading a lot of non-fiction, and felt like I wanted to read something fictitious and humorous. Even Cowgirls Get the Blues was a perfect choice. Robbins tells a wonderful yarn, that is funny and moving. He demonstrates a broad knowledge of many fields, and he writes beautifully. I will be reading his other work. I thoroughly recommend this book.

A classic, well wroth a read
