Description

Once the stock exchange crashes on the Thursday before Easter, you—a formidable, though ineffectual and not entirely ethical young broker—are persuaded that you’re experiencing the Weekend from Hell. Prior to the market reopens on Monday, you’re likely to need certainly to scramble and scheme to cover the sofa, but there’s no way you are able to assume the baffling disappearance of the 300-pound psychic, the fall from grace of a born-again monkey, or even the invasion in your lifetime of the tattooed stranger intent on wasting the mind and the majority of your fuses. Of these fateful three times, you'll have to face anything from mystical African traditions to renowned amphibians, from tarot-card bombshells to block violence, from your personal libido to space. This really is, in the end, a Tom Robbins novel—and the writer hasn't experienced better form.
