Another Roadside Attraction. An Apocalyptic Entertainment. A Metaphysical Suspense.
What if the Second Coming didn't quite come off as advertised? What if "the Corpse" on display in that funky roadside zoo is really who they say it is - what does that portend for the future of western civilization?
And what if a young clairvoyant named Amanda re-establishes the flea circus as popular entertainment and fertility worship as the principal religious form of our high-tech age?
Another Roadside Attraction answers those questions and a lot more. It tells us, for example, what the sixties were truly all about, not by reporting on the psychedelic decade but by recreating it, from the inside out.
He has been called 'a vital natural resource' by The Portland Oregonian, 'one of the wildest and most entertaining novelists in the world' by the FT, and 'the most dangerous writer in the world today' by Fernanda Pivano of Italy's Corriere della Sera. A Southerner by birth, Robbins has lived in and around Seattle since 1962.
