Publisher Description
“Robbins’s comic philosophical musings reveal a flamboyant genius.”—People
Still Life with Woodpecker is a sort of a love story that takes place inside a pack of Camel cigarettes. It reveals the purpose of the moon, explains the difference between criminals and outlaws, examines the conflict between social activism and romantic individualism, and paints a portrait of contemporary society that includes powerful Arabs, exiled royalty, and pregnant cheerleaders. It also deals with the problem of redheads.

Oh Tom
As I make my way through all Tom's books, I'm constantly reminded of just how silly this planet is. I thank him for all the wild exploits and truths he dumps at the doorstep of my mind.
THANKS TOM! Keep up the writing .. It's been far too long!
Something keeps me coming back
I’ve read this book twice and frequently revisit it to read certain passages. I am going to read it a third time and I don’t know why.
So talented Tom
I love his style, I lived in the northwest / seattle, portland area . His books create the same feeling as spending a week hiking around the cascades. Smelling pine trees and spending time discovering who you are. Still life with woodpecker was the 1st book I discovered.
