Our prospectus: intellectual property, exploitation.
'Not that Andre is actually corrupt, he has just had to be clever in certain unorthodox ways in order to survive. Robbins, From, 352. Robbins
Art: creation of attractive and convincing alternatives, points of view.

'The rip in the fabric of consensual reality. We cannot cover a whole manifold with one coordinate system. Robbins page 377.
Divine Will. The divinity needs no will, by definition, since it already has everything it could want? Or does

| Robbins, Tom, Half Asleep in Frog Payjamas, Bantam Books 1995 Editorial review: From Library Journal 'Robbins offers a wild and wacky trip featuring, among other things, a stock market crash and various philosophies about meaning and the origins of cultures. Gwen, an endangered stockbroker, is involved with strait-laced Belford and his born-again monkey. When she is attracted to Larry-who has cancer and is currently between trips to Timbuktu-she must choose among the American dream, the Timbuktu alternate, and something else. The book is a whirlwind of mad incidents, semiprofound observations, and an endless supply of great lines. The author of Skinny Legs and All (LJ 3/1/90) has come up with a very funny book that might incite a bit of thinking as well as laughter.' --Robert H. Donahugh, formerly with Youngstown & Mahoning Cty. P.L., Ohio Amazon back |
