Still Life With Woodpecker

When I saw this pack of Camel cigarettes at a store in Kuala Lumpur, I knew I have to buy it. I wanted to have a pack of Camel cigarettes ever since I read the book “Still Life With Woodpecker” by Tom Robbins. I’m not a smoker, you just have to read the book to understand…

Still Life with Woodpecker is sort of a love story that takes place inside a pack of Camel cigarettes.  It reveals the purpose of the moon, explains the difference between criminals and outlaws, examines the conflict between social activism and romantic individualism, and paints a portrait of contemporary society that includes powerful Arabs, exiled royalty, and pregnant cheerleaders.  It also deals with the problem of redheads.
