«Akoma kai oi kaoumpoisses melancholoun» is Tom Robbins's novel, published in 1998 by Aiolos in paperback (424 pages, in Greek).
A young woman with enormous thumbs, a cosmetics magnate who calls himself «Komissa», a ranch of cowgirls and a fake Indian hermit who venerates women and fried rattlesnakes populate this novel. Around them, a storm of ideas and situations unfolds that celebrates originality, humour and depth of thought.

For readers of contemporary fiction who enjoy absurd humour, eccentric characters and magical realism.
