Salomes siebter Schleier (rororo Taschenbücher)

Robbins's blend of humor, philosophy, and satire creates a unique reading experience. I'm curious what influenced this whimsical style.

The characters seem to represent larger ideas about identity and consumer culture. How did others interpret their symbolic roles?

The humor makes heavy topics feel accessible, but does it also dilute their impact for some readers? Would love to hear others' thoughts.
