About this product

Product Information

An Arab and a Jew open a restaurant together across the street from the United Nations.... It sounds like the beginning of an ethnic joke, but it's the axis around which spins this gutsy, fun-loving, and alarmingly provocative novel, in which a bean can philosophizes, a dessert spoon mystifies, a young waitress takes on the New York art world, and a rowdy redneck welder discovers the lost god of Palestine--while the illusions that obscure humanity's view of the true universe fall away, one by one, like Salome's veils. Skinny Legs and All deals with today's most sensitive issues: race, politics, marriage, art, religion, money, and lust.  It weaves lyrically through what some call the "end days" of our planet.  Refusing to avert its gaze from the horrors of the apocalypse, it also refuses to let the alleged end of the world spoil its mood.  And its mood is defiantly upbeat. In the gloriously inventive Tom Robbins style, here are characters, phrases, stories, and ideas that dance together on the page, wild and sexy, like Salome herself.  Or was it Jezebel?

  • Skinny legs and all

    I love Tom Robbins. The way he writes and philosophize. He combines characters lives, but at the same time keeping them seperate. Once you start reading the book, you understand where he gets his title for the book. He makes every characters movements, thoughts and speech engageing, that you feel it within yourself. This book has to do with realtionships between friends, lovers, strangers and everyday objects. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes to think outside the box.

  • Amazing

    This is a great book. I originally borrowed it from the library, but I felt that I owed it to Tom Robbins to spend money on his book since it was a very influential book in my life. A recommended read to everyone out there! Pick it up! Now, bitches.

  • Skinny Legs and All by Tom Robbins (1991)

    This was a wonderful book, I would highly recommend it to all. I can't say enough about it. Great characters and plays on words, great humor and a quick read.

  • Tom Robbins is a GOD-AUTHOR.

    I absolutely love the way he writes, i used to own the whole collection, but between moves and passing along his inspiring words, i have had to re-buy most of his books, hence this purchase, i strongly recommend Tom Robbins to any avid reader.

  • One of Tom Robbins best books

    This book is awesome. I actually ordered it for my mom because I love it so much. Skinny Legs and all is hilarious and so much more. A real gem!
