Wild ducks flying backward
the short writings of Tom Robbins
Wild ducks flying backward
the short writings of Tom Robbins
Book - 2005
A generous sampling, collected here for the first time and including works as diverse as scholarly art criticism and some decidedly untypical country-music lyrics. Embedded in this primarily journalistic compilation are a couple of short stories, a sheaf of largely unpublished poems, and an off-beat assessment of our divided nation.
