Still Life With the Woodpecker (Amazon.co.uk)

Still Life With the Woodpecker (Powell's Books - new or secondhand)

Another hilarously insane mass of metaphors, similes, and practical philosophical fiction from Tom Robbins. A love story inside a pack of Camel cigarettes between a red-headed deposed European princess and a red-headed outlaw bomber known as the The Woodpecker, this wonderful novel deals with sex in pyramids, mensturation and the moon, the difference between criminals and outlaws (hint: criminals are victims - outlaws joyously take resonsibility), the difference between social activism and romantic individualism, the importance of frogs, fairy tales, dynamite and the no small matter of how redheads burn easily. Everything is connected, and we should NEVER grow up.
