In TIBETAN PEACH PIE, Tom Robbins stitches together stories of his unconventional life, from his Appalachian childhood to his globetrotting adventures. 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.
