August 2008 Literary Festival
with

TOM ROBBINS

and his editor, Alan Rinzler

August 19 - 21, 2008
Hotel Real de Minas
San Miguel de Allende, Mexico

Tom Robbins is the wildly popular, iconic author of eight novels including his classics Even Cowgirls Get the Blues, Another Roadside Attraction, Still Life with Woodpecker, and Jitterbug Perfume. The novel that will be featured at this festival, and that we are all invited to read beforehand is his highly acclaimed 2000 novel,

Fierce Invalids Home From
Hot Climates

Tom Robbins appears in public rarely but is looking forward very much to this four-day event, an unusual opportunity for you to spend both formal and informal time with him.

Also appearing at the Festival will be Tom Robbins's editor, Alan Rinzler, www.alanrinzler.com who will share entertaining stories about his work with an extraordinary list of celebrity authors including Hunter Thompson, Toni Morrison, Shirley MacLaine, Tom Wolfe, Nora Ephron, Robert Ludlum, Bob Dylan, Andy Warhol, Clive Cussler, Michael Gurian, Lorraine Hansberry, and more!
