Book
Taschenbuch. Kartoniert. Condition: Gut. Taschenbucherstausgabe. 558 (2) Seiten. 19 cm. Umschlaggestaltung: Barbara Hanke. Guter Zustand. Seiten papierbedingt leicht gebräunt. Tom Robbins' neuer Roman besichtigt die Katastrophen seines Jahrhunderts mit einer intellektuellen Unbekümmertheit und Vitalität, die einen wieder hoffen läßt. Bei aller Belesenheit und Freude an pointierten Formulierungen hat sich dieser Altmeister des Untergrundromans etwas vom Flair des idiot savant bewahrt. Nach der Lektüre stellt man mit Überraschung fest, wie kurzweilig Tom Robbins zu erzählen weiß. (FAZ). Ein Jude und ein Araber eröffnen gemeinsam ein Restaurant gegenüber dem New Yorker UNO-Gebäude. Da solch ein Ort der Völkerverständigung militanten Fundamentalisten aller Seiten ein Dorn im Auge sein muß, gehen bald die Bomendrohungen ein . . - Thomas Eugene Robbins (* 22. Juli 1932 in Blowing Rock, North Carolina) ist ein US-amerikanischer Schriftsteller. . Sein Studium in Seattle schloss er mit einem Masters degree ab, anschließend unternahm er zusammen mit Joseph Campbell eine Reise nach Südamerika. In der Zeit in Seattle arbeitete er u. a. als Redakteur und Kunstkritiker für die Seattle Times und den Seattle Post-Intelligencer. Im Juli 1963 machte er seine erste Erfahrung mit LSD. 1964 zog er in das Village in New York City. Dort nahm er u. a. mit Allen Ginsberg an einer Kampagne zur Legalisierung von Marihuana teil, besuchte Vorlesungen von Timothy Leary und wurde mit diesem auch persönlich bekannt. 1965 zog Robbins nach San Francisco, bald darauf wieder zurück nach Seattle, wo er eine Zeitlang als Discjockey tätig war. Im Juli 1967 besuchte er ein Konzert der Doors und fand während der anschließenden Arbeit an einer Kritik dieses Konzertes zu seinem eigenen typischen Schreibstil.[2] 1968 besprach Robbins mit Luther Nichols, dem West Coast Editor" (verantwortlicher Redakteur für die Westküste) von Doubleday, erstmals seine Romanpläne zu Another Roadside Attraction. Ein Jahr lang versuchte er seine Vision zu Papier zu bringen, ohne groß voranzukommen. Im gleichen Jahr heiratete er Terrie Lunden. Er zog nach South Bend im Bundesstaat Washington und arbeitete weiter an seinem Roman. 1969 erhielt er einen Vorschuss von 2500 Dollar und machte eine Reise nach Japan. 1970 zog Robbins in das Fischerdorf La Conner, Washington, und kaufte sich dort ein viktorianisches Haus. 1971 kam sein Sohn Fleetwood Star zur Welt und Robbins beendete die Arbeit an seinem Buch Another Roadside Attraction (dt. Ein Platz für Hot Dogs"), das noch im selben Jahr als Hardcover-Ausgabe erschien. Ebenfalls 1971 wurde die Ehe mit Terrie wieder geschieden. 1972 erschien Another Roadside Attraction als Paperback. 1976 erschien dann Robbins zweiter Roman Even Cowgirls Get the Blues, 1980 der dritte, Still Life with Woodpecker. Bei einer Signierstunde im Papa Bach's bookstore in Santa Monica befreundete er sich näher mit Timothy Leary. Anfang der 1980er Jahre heiratete Robbins Donna Davis, die Ehe wurde jedoch bald wieder geschieden. 1984 erschien Jitterbug Perfume (dt. Pan Aroma"), im Jahr darauf machte Robbins eine Reise nach Tansania. 1987 spielte er die Rolle des Spielzeugmachers in dem Film Made in Heaven. 1990 erschien Robbins fünfter Roman Skinny Legs and All. Anfang der Neunziger reiste der Autor nach Timbuktu. 1993 wurde Even Cowgirls Get the Blues von Gus Van Sant verfilmt, in den Hauptrollen sind Uma Thurman und Keanu Reeves zu sehen. 1994 heiratete Robbins Alexa D'Avalon, im selben Jahr erschien Half Asleep In Frog Pajamas und Robbins spielte in dem Film Mrs. Parker and the Vicious Circle. 1995 stieg Half Asleep in die Bestseller-Liste der New York Times auf. 1997 erwarb Robbins ein Haus über der Skagit Bay, das alte Haus in La Conner behielt er als Schreibhaus". Ebenfalls 1997 wurde Robbins mit dem Golden Umbrella award beim Bumbershoot Seattle arts festival ausgezeichnet. Im Jahr 2000 erschien Fierce Invalids Home from Hot Climates und erreichte schnell die Bestsellerlisten. Tom Robbins war eng befreundet mit dem im Jahr 2000 verstorbenen Terence McKenna, dessen Einfluss in mehreren von Robbins Werken deutlich zu spüren ist. Eine der Hauptfiguren (Larry Diamond") im Roman Halbschlaf im Frosch-Pyjama vertritt Thesen ähnlich denen von McKenna, einschließlich der Propagierung des Gebrauchs von Psilocybin zur Bewusstseinserweiterung. 2003 kam Robbins achter Roman Villa Incognito heraus. Neben seinen bisher acht Romanen publizierte Robbins auch Gedichte, Kurzgeschichten, Essays, Reiseberichte und anderes in Tageszeitungen und Zeitschriften wie Esquire, Playboy und der New York Times. Er schuf auch den Albumtitel zu Chris Gelbmanns erstem Singer-Songwriter-Album The Pink Beast Of Love. Auf Englisch erschien 2005 eine Sammlung solcher kürzerer Schriften unter dem Titel Wild Ducks Flying Backwards, die deutsche Übersetzung erschien 2007 unter dem Titel Chop Suey. 2014 erschien seine Autobiographie mit dem Titel Tibetan Peach Pie. 2017 wurde die deutsche Ausgabe namens Tibetischer Pfirsichstrudel veröffentlicht. .
