Tom Robbins is an American author renowned for his "seriocomedies," a unique blend of comedy and drama. His novels, characterized by a poetic style, explore social and philosophical themes. He is best known for his work, "Jitterbug Perfume: A Novel."

In "Even Cowgirls Get the Blues" by Tom Robbins, a group of young cowgirls at the Rubber Rose Ranch engage in whooping crane rustling, drawing the attention of the FBI. The story's focus, however, is on Sissy Hankshaw, a free-spirited hitchhiker who arrives at the ranch and captivates everyone. Her presence overshadows the cowgirls' rebellion, making her the central figure of the narrative. This novel, which was later adapted into a film, is known for its quick pace and Robbins' signature philosophical humor.
