What is the author's style in Even Cowgirls Get the Blues by Tom Robbins?

Robbins uses rich descriptions to tell the tale of Sissy Hankshaw. Through flowery words and long sentences, Sissy comes to life. The language of the novel is informal and comfortable. Because Robbins is actually Dr. Robbins, he can sympathize with Sissy and all her feelings and thoughts. He has been a close confidant and listener and is interested in becoming Sissy's lover; therefore, the narrative and language take on a bias tone. The author informs the reader of his regard for Sissy on many occasions thus influencing the readers' ability to create their own opinions on Sissy's character.

The author strives to create a "chummy" relationship with the readers. He is obviously excited to tell the story of Sissy because he is deeply in love with her and fascinated by the person she has become. At times the author's tone is too comfortable. He begins to assume that the reader will understand every tangent and thought he pens. Instead, his tangent can become confusing and unnecessary.
