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.
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 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.

Life tales from long time favourite author.
So easy to keep listening that it finished before I was ready to stop absorbing the stories and piecing together a bigger picture of the man behind the words I've admired for over 20 years.

Interesting but not Tom Robbins best book
I enjoyed this audio book even though some pasages seem a bit long and dull, and even self-indulgent.
But there is a real spark, and Tom Robbins has had an interesting life and, at times, is on good odd-ball-wisdom form.
The narrator is perfect for this book, really made it for me!

I wish I hadn't
I didn't enjoy this memoir. Tom was far too focused on name dropping and talking about his sexual exploits than anything of real substance. His continued return to flirting with school girls was dangerously close to being illegal.
Tibetan Peach Pie made me question my love for Tom Robbins's work.
