Jitterbug Perfume is a crazed, jazzed-up jambalaya of gems, trifles, tidbits and practical jokes. Our language wasn't meant to do the things Robbins persuades it to, but it is the better for it. This wild comic rip through eternity and beyond shows some of the most disarming wit and original writing around. Jitterbug should make you dance - maybe not jitterbug, but shimmy at the least - with joy. --Detroit Press
