Imagine there are American MIAs who chose to remain missing after the Vietnam War. But no matter how hard you try, you’ll never imagine what you’ll find inside the Villa Incognito: a tilt-a-whirl of identity, masquerade, and disguise that dares to pull off “the false mustache of the world” and reveal the even greater mystery underneath. For neither the mists of Laos nor the Bangkok smog, neither the overcast of Seattle nor the fog of San Francisco, neither the murk of the intelligence community nor the mummery of the circus can obscure the pure linguistic phosphor that illuminates every page of one of America’s most consistently surprising and inventive writers.. Imagine them part of a novel that only Tom Robbins could create—a magically crafted work as timeless as myth yet as topical as the latest international threat. Imagine a family in which four generations of strong, alluring women share a mysterious connection to an outlandish figure from Japanese folklore
Maybe Robbins' weakest effort? A Customer I've read every Tom Robbins book (some multiple times), and I was thrilled to see this book released so quickly after "Fierce Invalids", but unfortunatley, I was kind of disappointed.The first 100 pages or so, are just great - but the second half of the book kind of lays an egg in my opinion. I believe the reason this happens is because when one of the major characters - Mars Albert Stubblefied - is introduced, my energy and enthusiasm left this story. This character is just not up to par with the many great characters of wisdom and charm as in his other bo. "Fantastic" according to Derek Merman. Typical Robbins- intelligent, irreverent, really well-written and entertaining. This will be a book I read several times. If you're not familiar with Tom Robbins, this or Fierce Invalids is a great place to start. He just keeps getting better.. Classic Robbins Style, Unfulfilled Potential PrivacyPlease I looked forward to this novel the way any true fan would, and was immediately suprised and mildly disheartened by its slim figure. I dove in with abandon and read it from cover to cover. The book did not disappoint--the passages on Tanuki, Himself are reminiscent of those in Jitterbug Perfume involving Pan, and the prose is wacky poetic, as usual--however, I was left wanting more, feeling as if Mr. Robbins might have been distracted by a quivering chrysanthemum or some savory sake.This is not to say that I did not enjoy the novel--I most certainly did, and
Also part of the cast is a beautiful young woman who may or may not have Tanuki's blood in her veins (but definitely does have a chrysanthemum seed embedded in the roof of her mouth), and three American MIAs who have chosen to remain in Laos long after the Vietnam War. A few examples: "The afternoon passed more slowly than a walnut-sized kidney stone"; "He crooned the way a can of cheap dog food might croon if a can of cheap dog food had a voice"; "Dickie's heart felt suddenly like an iron piano with barbwire strings and scorpions for keys."
