Okay. So apparently Tom Robbins was a Figure of Literature in the Baby
Boomer adolescent age. I agree, based on DR's advice, not to toss the book,
but
to give it a chance reading first. Somehow the sight of the title brought
back memories of assigned junior high reading -- "My Darling My Hamburger" and
something odd about Marigolds. I was busy trying to hide my copy of Jane Eyre
under my school desk top.
I've always managed to escape my current culture by a few years.
It has its drawbacks.

whose husband (a verifiable, certifiable hippy, when I SHOULD have know him,
of course knows Robbins.)
