DENVER WRITERS BOOK CLUB: Even Cowgirls Get The Blues by Tom Robbins

Get ready to hitch a ride with Sissy Hankshaw—giant-thumbed hitchhiker, model, and free spirit—as we dive into Tom Robbins’ wild, witty, and wonderfully weird novel, Even Cowgirls Get the Blues.

This cult classic blends counterculture, feminism, mysticism, and absurdist humor into a psychedelic road trip of self-discovery and rebellion.

Expect:
- 🐎 Spirited discussion on freedom, identity, and the myth of the American West
- 💄 A look at beauty standards and the power of nonconformity
- 🧠 A few philosophical detours (because Robbins never takes the straight road)

Bring your thoughts, your questions, and your inner cowgirl. Bonus points if you show up in boots.

Our book club meets every fourth Thursday. We will discuss Wuthering Heights by Emily Brontë on December 11. Join us and help decide which book to read for our January 8, 2026 discussion.

**********

Our writers forum meets every fourth Thursday as well. It’s an open discussion of writing, editing, and publishing issues that participants bring to the table. Upcoming sessions will be on October 30 and November 27.

Note: We get free validated parking in the garage at 3847 North Downing Street.
