Book Description

Publisher's Summary
Internationally best-selling novelist and American icon Tom Robbins
delivers the long-awaited tale of his wild life and times, both at home
and around the globe.
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 fans
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 '60s 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.-
