  • AN ABSTRACT of the THESIS of Cxnthia M. Akers for the Master Of
    AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF Cxnthia M. Akers for the Master of Arts in English presented on 8 Ma;y 1986 Title: From Bubblegum to Personism: The C;ycle of Choice in the Novels of Tom Robbins Abstract approved: ~ s/~¥C--;--:.- The four novels of Tom Robbins, Another Roadside Attraction, Even Cowgirls Get the Blues, Still Life with Woodpecker, and Jitterbug Perfume, represent an apparent shift by Robbins from the post-modernist conventions in his first two novels to certain conventions of mimetic literature in his last two novels. Robbins' critics as yet have not adequately explained this shift, nor have they defined a central theme in his fiction. However, Robbins reveals in his last two novels that a controlling theme, choice, is pre­ sent in all four novels. The existence of this theme, which consists of a two-part cycle, explains the movement in Robbins' fiction from non-linear to linear structures. Robbins' gradual awareness of his theme also indicates that his novels have progressed not from a post-modernist to a mimetic literature, but from the techniques of bubblegum fiction to the aesthetic of personism. Robbins' theme of choice manifests itself in the response of the reader to each novel, which in turn affects the roles of the thematic character who embodies choice and the narrator of each novel. In Robbins' first two novels, the reader is a participant in the non-linear structures and a passive observer of the cycle of choice as it is represented by the static thematic characters and unreliable narrators of those novels.

  • TOM ROBBINS Mark Twain with an Illegal Smile
    TOM ROBBINS Mark Twain with an Illegal Smile n what TIME magazine deemed “the year that changed the world,” Tom Robbins em- bodied the Altered States of America. Robbins, 36, was an Air Force veteran, grad school Idropout and seasoned journalist. He had been an art critic for The Seattle Times until he famously quit one day by calling in “well.” By 1968 he was mustache-deep in countercul- ture. He hosted a free-form radio show called Notes from The Underground on non-com- mercial KRAB, “the only station in America with macrobiotic kilowatts.” He wrote for Helix, Seattle’s underground paper. He found his writing voice there, he declared, with a concert review the previous year. It began: “On July 23 and 24, Eagles Auditorium was raped and pillaged, anointed and sanctified by The Doors.” Reviewing Jimi Hendrix’s 1968 “homecoming” Seattle concert, Robbins called the revolutionary guitarist “Oscar Wilde in Egyptian drag” and said, “What he lacks in content, he makes up in style.” Seattle’s distractions proved too much, though, for the aspiring novelist who hailed from North Carolina hill country but fell for Washington’s firs and ferns, its sloughs and salmon. In 1968, Robbins decamped to tiny South Bend in Pacific County where he and his girlfriend Terrie Lunden rented a place for $8 a month. They grazed on restaurant leftovers she brought home from waitressing. “I finally figured if I was going to write this book, I had to get out of town,” he said. “This book” turned out to be Another Roadside Attraction, a fantastical novel of out- laws and Buddhism, mischief and metaphysics, erotica and exotica.

  • Tom Robbins: a Man Doing Feminism Through His Fiction
    1. Introduction This thesis, entitled “Tom Robbins: A Man Doing Feminism through His Fiction” 1, explores the novels written by Tom Robbins and focuses on their feminist aspects. Strikingly, even though Robbins is a male author, his novels are abounding with feminist ideas. Nevertheless, there is some disagreement among feminists as to whether Robbins should or should not be considered a feminist author. One of the objectives of this thesis, therefore, is to provide sufficient evidence, by means of analyzing three of his novels, to prove that Tom Robbins indeed is a feminist author. Due to the fact that the story of his second novel, Even Cowgirls Get the Blues 2, centers around feminist movement and its related isssues, I will demur at Robbins’s connection to contemporary feminist movement. Thus, at the beginning of the thesis, I explore the feminist debates of the late 1960’s and early 1970’s. For the purpose of this thesis, the period of the turn of the decades is significant for two reasons: it marks the re-emergence of feminist movement which, at that time, became a cultural and political phenomenon. The other reason for which I focus on such a narrow period of time lies in the fact that Robbins started to publish his novels in 1971 and the feminist debates of the day clearly had an impact on and are reflected in the story of Cowgirls , published in 1976, the most feminist of Robbins’s novels. Apparently, it was the feminist debates of that period which provided food for thought for the young author and influenced him in such a way that he himself became profeminist.

  • Even Cowgirls Get the Blues
    EVEN COWGIRLS GET THE BLUES Written by Gus Van Sant Based on a novel by Tom Robbins SHOOTING DRAFT 1993 INT. CAVE NIGHT There is a huge ancient hourglass made of animal skins, and acorns plop through the waist of the hourglass one by one. It sits in a pool of water. In the water swim EYELESS CATFISH in geometric patterns. An underground stream feeds the pool of water and then flows into a huge underground crevasse that on occasion emits a LOW RUMBLE. INDIANS with torches surround the hourglass, which now we can see is in a cave. And as soon as the acorns have finished passing through the hourglass, a crew of Indians turn it on its opposite end. One of the Indians appears to be JAPANESE. ONE INDIAN stands at the wall of the cavern in front of a series of symbolic carvings and scratches, with stone in hand he makes a few hatchmarks, and keeps an eye on the CREVASSE. THE CREVASSE RUMBLES once more, loosening a few chunks of rock from the cave. The earth begins to shake. THE CHART KEEPER She is restless tonight. ANOTHER INDIAN She dreams of loving. STILL ANOTHER She has the blues. View of the chartkeeper's drawings. One is of a crane with a very long neck. Another is a primitive drawing of a naked girl, who has long flowing hair. She also has, pointed out from her sides, thumbs that are three times normal human proportions. A MUSICAL CHORUS sounds at the sight of this drawing of a girl with the thumbs.
