Fierce Invalids Home from Hot Climates
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
doesn’t merely pack a pistol. He is a pistol. And as we dog Switters’
strangely elevated heels across four continents, in and out of love and
danger, discovering in the process the “true” Third Secret of Fatima, we
experience Tom Robbins that fearless storyteller, spiritual renegade,
and verbal break dancer at the top of his game. On one level this is a
fast-paced CIA adventure story with comic overtones; on another it’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.
