Villa Incognito by Tom Robbins

Thursday April 8, 2004
Villa IncognitoTom Robbins has been dishing out metaphor-rich and metaphysically-playful novels since 1971 when he delivered Another Roadside Attraction. He is a consummate class-clown among authors, ever-prodding his readers with his wit and crazy wisdom and never failing to entertain.

His latest work, Villa Incognito, begins with 3 American MIAs who choose to remain missing after the Vietnam war, but as is always the case with a Tom Robbins' work, careens gleefully into untold realms of myth and imagination.
