About this listen

With his most famous novel, this is Tom Robbins at his offbeat, outrageous, and inventive best.

Introducing Sissy Hankshaw—an almost flawlessly beautiful small-town girl with big-time dreams—who hitchhikes her way into your heart, your hopes, and your sleeping bag. Along her travels, meet such unforgettable characters as Bonanza Jellybean and the smooth-riding cowgirls of Rubber Rose Ranch; the unfortunately named Chink, a lascivious guru of yams and yang; Julian, an asthmatic esthete and husband by disposition; and Dr. Robbins, a preventive psychiatrist and reality instructor. 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.

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
