520 $aInternationally bestselling novelist and American icon TomRobbins delivers the long awaited tale of his wild life and times, both at home and around the globe.
520 $a"In Tibetan Peach Pie, Robbins turns that unparalleled literary sensibility inward, stitching together stories ofhis unconventional life, from his Appalachian childhood tohis 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 comedyand mesmerizing linguistic invention for which he is known,Tibetan Peach Pie is an invitation into the private world of a literary legend." -- Publisher's description.
