- Copyright: © 1991 Tom Robbins“The highest function of love is that it makes the loved one a unique and irreplaceable being.”The world of Jitterbug Perfume is one, but the epochs are two: that of ancient Bohemia and that of modern Paris, Seattle, and New Orleans. The competition in time and nationalities between foreigners is in the hands of the master Irish philosopher, who tells of the clash between characters motivated by the search for immortality. And the cure to death is in a bottle of perfume. That bottle, however, is leaking...In the menu of Tom Robbins's works, one encounters satire, magical realism, and absurdism, the details of which have the clear purpose of throwing the reader's mind into perplexity. Jitterbug Perfume makes no exception: the mentioning of the plot itself will make you utter a "What?", to which you will eventually receive an answer within the pages.Every novel finds its reader, and the one for this novel in particular is the reader that sees sweetness in the seriocomedy of human and (in)humane desires and passions."Jitterbug Perfume has a large and exotic cast of characters, all of whom are interested in immortality and/or perfume... Go see for yourself; you'll have a good time."—Washington Post
