Fierce Invalids Home From Hot Climates
- Used Book in Good Condition
Switters is a contradiction for all seasons: an anarchist who works for the government; a pacifist who carries a gun; a vegetarian who sops up ham gravy; a cyberwhiz who hates computers; a man who, though obsessed with the preservation of innocence, is aching to deflower his high-school-age stepsister (only to become equally enamored of a nun ten years his senior). Yet there is nothing remotely wishy-washy about Switters. He doesnâ€™t merely pack a pistol. He is a pistol. And as we dog Swittersâ€™s strangely elevated heels across four continents, in and out of love and danger, discovering in the process the â€œtrueâ€ Third Secret of Fatima, we experience Tom Robbinsâ€”that fearless storyteller, spiritual renegade, and verbal break dancerâ€”at the top of his game. On one level this is a fast-paced CIA adventure story with comic overtones; on another itâ€™s a serious novel of ideas that brings the Big Picture into unexpected focus; but perhaps more than anything else, Fierce Invalids is a sexy celebration of language and life.
