B Is For Beer

Tom Robbins' first fiction in five years (and perhaps his most audacious ever), B is for Beer explores various aspects of beer culture - ancient, modern, and otherworldly; brutal, infantile and divine - and dramatises the surprising things that happen when the life of a feisty nursery school kid named Gracie Perkel intersects with each. Billed by Robbins as the first children's book about beer', this inspired work taps into the barrel of life's existential mysteries and is truly meant to sit proudly with his other novels in grown-up literature sections.'
