Tom Robbins, the bestselling novelist whose early books defined the 1960s for a generation and whose publishing career spanned more than 50 years, died Sunday, according to his wife. She did not say the cause of his death.
Robbins, who called La Conner, Skagit County, home, was unclassifiable, and he liked it that way. He was a shy, dreamy kid who became a class clown and bad boy, a native Southerner who moved to Seattle from Virginia because “Seattle was the farthest place from Richmond on the map without leaving the country,” he told Rolling Stone in a 1977 interview. In his books he juggled the roles of writer, philosopher, renegade, mystic and comedian. Critical reviews of his books ranged from rapturous to disdainful, but he was a world-class storyteller and he inspired lifelong loyalty among his devoted fans. His motto, he said from time to time, was “joy in spite of everything.”
Robbins was born in Blowing Rock, North Carolina, a resort town in the Blue Ridge Mountains. His grandfathers were both Southern Baptist ministers — one “would literally ride a mule into those hollers, as they called the valleys, and preach to people who were too far removed from civilization to have a church,” he told The Seattle Times in 2014. His mother was a nurse; his father worked as a power company executive, and the family moved a number of times. | |
