Tom Robbins, a pioneering author known for his wildly imaginative novels, passed away at the age of 92. His works, including 'Even Cowgirls Get the Blues' and 'Another Roadside Attraction', celebrated a unique blend of fantasy and reality infused with counterculture themes. Robbins’ wife revealed he died surrounded by family and pets. With a literary philosophy of 'serious playfulness', Robbins encouraged readers to approach life with whimsy. He desired to be remembered through his work, emphasizing joy and creativity throughout his career that spanned multiple decades.
I try to mix fantasy and spirituality, sexuality, humor and poetry in combinations that have never quite been seen before in literature.
Minds were made for blowing,
He asked that people remember him by reading his books.
Robbins' characters were over the top, off the wall and around the bend.
