Villa Incognito by Tom Robbins
Katrina's review
rating:
I've only read two books by Robbins, and I prefer (nay, love!) Fierce Invalids Home from Hot Climates.
That said, the characters in Villa Incognito weaved their way into my subconscious and became more and more likeable as I appreciated their independent spirits, skills, and subversiveness.
Speaking of "-iveness", there's plenty of perversiveness in this book, so if you can't hang, it might not be up your alley! We're talking a mix of magic realism, beastiality (yes, I said beastiality), and Vietnam vets gone AWOL who now play host to a bevy of concubines. So, basically...classic Tom Robbins!
