Internationally bestselling novelist and American icon Tom Robbins
delivers the long awaited tale of his wild life and times, both at
home and around the globe. Tom Robbins' warm, wise, and wonderfully
weird novels-including Still Life With Woodpecker, Jitterbug
Perfume, and Fierce Invalids Home From Hot Climates-provide an
entryway into the frontier of his singular imagination. Madcap but
sincere, pulsating with strong social and philosophical
undercurrents, his irreverent classics have introduced countless
readers to natural born hitchhiking cowgirls, born-again monkeys, a
philosophizing can of beans, exiled royalty, and problematic
redheads. In Tibetan Peach Pie, Robbins turns that unparalleled
literary sensibility inward, stitching together stories of his
unconventional life, from his Appalachian childhood to his
globetrotting adventures -told in his unique voice that combines
the sweet and sly, the spiritual and earthy. The grandchild of
Baptist preachers, Robbins would become over the course of half a
century a poet-interruptus, an air force weatherman, a radio dj, an
art-critic-turned-psychedelic-journeyman, a world-famous novelist,
and a counter-culture hero, leading a life as unlikely, magical,
and bizarre as those of his quixotic characters. Robbins offers
intimate snapshots of Appalachia during the Great Depression, the
West Coast during the Sixties psychedelic revolution, international
roving before homeland security monitored our travels, and New York
publishing when it still relied on trees. Written with the
big-hearted comedy and mesmerizing linguistic invention for which
he is known, Tibetan Peach Pie is an invitation into the private
world of a literary legend.
