Tibetan Peach Pie

I finally got around to reading the Tom Robbins memoir “Tibetan Peach Pie”. What a fascinating life! And, as one would expect, Robbins does to memoirs what he previously did to the novel - this is much more than a simple recounting of a remarkable life, he manages to provoke a sense of wonder and awe even in this non-fiction format and continues to dazzle with the brilliance of his prose. Full of great funny provocative stories that reflect on not just the man and his writing but on our culture, consciousness, evolution, place in nature, the cosmic comedy, and everything.

Thanks Tom Robbins!

If you love Tom Robbins, then it's a good read. I like him but was expecting the book to be more about his books and how he developed the ideas. Instead the book focused a lot on childhood anecdotes and all of his wives/girlfriends and the many children that came in and out of his life. Oddly, he seemed very unemotional about it all. At the end I was left feeling a bit empty and unfulfilled.
