Shelfari edited the description of Skinny Legs and All Friday, July 31 2009.

• An Arab and a Jew open a restaurant together across the street from the United Nations.... It sounds like the beginning of an ethnic joke, but it's the axis around which spins this gutsy, fun-loving, and alarmingly provocative novel, in which a bean can philosophizes, a dessert spoon mystifies, a young waitress takes on the New York art world, and a rowdy redneck welder discovers the lost god of Palestine--while the illusions that obscure humanity's view of the true universe fall away, one by one, like Salome's veils. Skinny Legs and All deals with today's most sensitive issues: race, politics, marriage, art, religion, money, and lust. It weaves lyrically through what some call the "end days" of our planet. Refusing to avert its gaze from the horrors of the apocalypse, it also refuses to let the alleged end of the world spoil its mood. And its mood is defiantly upbeat. In the gloriously inventive Tom Robbins style, here are characters, phrases, stories, and ideas that dance together on the page, wild and sexy, like Salome herself. Or was it Jezebel?

keran wing edited the quotations of Skinny Legs and All Sunday, July 26 2009.

• Added a quotation: ““Granted, he's a man of God, but ol' Bud has got...ambition.” “Mama, you say it like he's got a disease.” “Well, ambition's not as bad as AIDS, I reckon. But it can be a whole lot worse than the measles.””
• Added a quotation: “It was sweet of him, she thought, to be protective; sweet and typically southern. In her experience, southern men tended to be charming that way. Protective as Brink's, polite as tea, respectful as a job applicant during a recession.”
• Added a quotation: ““I tell you, that switch from B.C. to A.D. Must have driven people nuts. I bet more than a few Israelites missed their dental appointments.””
• Added a quotation: “Babylon was riding tall under its powerful leader, Nebuchadnezzar. My, oh my, they don't make names like that anymore. Ronald, George, Gary, Jimmy, just plain Bill: these modern mediocre monikers aren't fit to shine the shoes of Nebuchadnezzar. John is a label. Nebuchadnezzar is a poem. A monument. A swarm of killer bees let loose in the halls of the alphabet. Anyway, back to the point...”
• Added a quotation: “...leaving Raoul on the verge of composing one of those trite romantic lyrics that, lacking the ivory flame of great poetry, nevertheless stay with a person forever, like a scar, a tattoo, or third-grade arithmetic.”
• Added a quotation: “I swear, they'd rather have them a mess of revenge than a big juicy steak and a roll in silk sheets with a movie star.”
• Added a quotation: ““Now's the time for you to have babies, honey. Directly. And you know why? Having babies meses up your life, bu when you're young your life's already messed up, so it's easy to fit in a baby or two.””
