Oh man, the phrase "Everything is scared, Nothing is Scared" still floats through my mind with regularity. And, the sweetness that comes from mixing bitterness with savory, as a concept...the man and is creations definitely touched my life and thinking. Condolences on your loss of a great friend. 💔❤️‍🔥😇

Thank you for this, Daniele. Tom Robbins' novels are wonderful. I'm grateful to read about your personal connection with him.

Jitterbug Perfume is one of my favorite novels. I return to it every few years and I'm never disappointed. I named my late dog Bingo Pajamas because he, too, had the outsized spirit of Bees and Beets. I think you likely do, too.
