Praise for Fierce Invalids Home from Hot Climates Superb.
On one level this is a fast-paced CIA adventure story with comic overtones; on another it\'s a serious novel of ideas that brings the Big Picture into unexpected focus; but perhaps more than anything else, Fierce Invalids is a sexy celebration of language and life.
And as we dog Switters\'s strangely elevated heels across four continents, in and out of love and danger, discovering in the process the true Third Secret of Fatima, we experience Tom Robbins--that fearless storyteller, spiritual renegade, and verbal break dancer--at the top of his game.
He is a pistol.
He doesn\'t merely pack a pistol.
Yet there is nothing remotely wishy-washy about Switters.
A delight from beginning to end.-- Buffalo News Switters is a contradiction for all seasons: an anarchist who works for the government; a pacifist who carries a gun; a vegetarian who sops up ham gravy; a cyberwhiz who hates computers; a man who, though obsessed with the preservation of innocence, is aching to deflower his high-school-age stepsister (only to become equally enamored of a nun ten years his senior). . . .
Robbins takes readers on a wild, delightful ride. . .
As clever and witty a novel as anyone has written in a long time .
Robbins explores, challenges, mocks, and celebrates virtually every major aspect of our contemporary era as he brings onstage the most complex and compelling character he\'s ever created.
