Synopsis
In this humorously picaresque novel, a Zen Buddhist CIA agent meets an Amazonian shaman who takes him on a great drug trip, but insists on a high price for the experience: he places a curse on the agent that requires him to stay eternally in transit, never touching ground. He returns home in a wheelchair and, in a wild plot twist, finds himself in a convent in the Syrian desert where he falls in love with a nun.

Publisher's Note
Switters, an anarchist pacifist who works for the government and carries a gun, chases after his teenage stepsister, only to become madly enamored of a nun a decade older than him, in this hilarious new novel by the author of Even Cowgirls Get the Blues.

Industry Reviews
"Tom Robbins, whose cosmic-absurdist, stoner-philosophical novels have moved undergraduates to scrawl 'So true!!!' in the margins for decades, has again deputized himself to carry the freak flag of irreverence and fleshly indulgence. And if you're moved to ask against whom, lo these 30 years since Woodstock, you're clearly too hung up for this trip."
Poniewozik

"A lot of fun, but less so if an overdeveloped sense of reader-duty won't let you pass by the plot-stopping diatribes that have become Robbins's habit."
Goyen
