- Robbins, Tom (1932-2025) (historylink.org)
Pacific Northwest novelist Tom Robbins, profoundly provoked and inspired by what he called the “1960s renaissance,” is often hailed as a comic/spiritual chronicler of that tumultuous decade. But his nine novels and numerous writings spanning a career of more than 40 years place him in a broader perspective as a futurist, a sharp-eyed observer of American aesthetics, and fanciful cultural gadfly.

Thomas Eugene Robbins (July 22, 1932 – February 9, 2025) was an American novelist. His most notable works are “seriocomedies” (also known as “comedy dramas”). His 1976 novel Even Cowgirls Get the Blues was adapted into the 1993 film version by Gus Van Sant. His last work, published in 2014, was Tibetan Peach Pie, a self-declared “un-memoir”. From 1970, Robbins lived in La Conner, Washington, where he wrote nine of his books.
