Publisher's Note
Jitterbug Perfume is an epic. which is to say, it begins in the forests of ancient Bohemia and doesnt conclude until nine o'clock tonight [Paris time]. It is a saga, as well. A saga must have a hero, and the hero of this one is a janitor with a missing bottle. The bottle is blue, very, very old, and embossed with the image of a goat-horned god. If the liquid in the bottle is actually is the secret essence of the universe, as some folks seem to think, it had better be discovered soon becaused it is leaking and there is only a drop of two left.
Robbins calls Jitterbug Perfume "an epic". It is also a saga, and a saga must have a hero. The hero of this one is a janitor with a missing bottle. The bottle is blue, very, very old, and embossed with the image of a great-horned god. Some people actually believe that the liquid in the bottle is--the secret essence of the universe?
Industry Reviews
"Robbins again celebrates the joy of individual expression and self-reliance. He lays before us the time honored warts and hairs of the world's philosophies -- problems with religion, war, politics, family, marriage and sex -- and leaves no twist or turn unstoned."
Berman
"'Jitterbug Perfume' has a large and exotic cast of characters, all of whom are interested in immortality and/or perfume.. Go see for yourself; you'll have a good time."
Kincaid
