Kudra :maybe_verified:<p>Whoa.</p><p>Tom Robbins died on February 9th.</p><p>Didn't see any mention in any press, anywhere here in Australia, or socially.</p><p>I've had an online persona named from one of his characters for literally decades - and still do. I'm pretty attached to the name and the character, even now.</p><p>I didn't like his most recent work, he was going a bit off the rails, and tbh even his older work I reread and find a fair bit too male-gazey, even with his kooky magic realism and hippie sensibilities.</p><p>Still, sadface. He inspired me hugely in my 20s.

Ron Franke<p>I’m very sad to have just learned that Tom Robbins has died. A brilliant novelist that entranced his followers for a number of decades. Known for novels such as "Even Cowgirls Get the Blues”, “Jitterbug Perfume”, and numerous others, he will be missed. The many stories by Tom Robbins were a major literary influence on my life. Creative minds and inventive story-tellers are a rarity.</p><p>If you haven’t read one of the many Tom Robbins novels I highly recommend that you explore his collection.</p><p><a href="https://sfba.social/tags/TomRobbins" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TomRobbins</span></a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/books" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>books</span></a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/Novel" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Novel</span></a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/Literature" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Literature</span></a></p>
Relle<p>"The pumpkin seeds were dangling in their reticulum of slime" </p><p>My favorite Tom Robbins quote, I love his approach to language and his wildly imaginative stories.

🇪🇷Götterdämmerung<p>One of my favorite writers, Tom Robbins, is dead. His book Jitterbug Perfume made immortality feel like an act of defiance, gave us Alobar, the king who refused to rot. And now he's gone. No beet pollen, no tantric rituals, just the final punctuation marks we all get eventually. </p><p><a href="https://glitch.social/tags/TomRobbins" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TomRobbins</span></a><br><a href="https://glitch.social/tags/JitterbugPerfume" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>JitterbugPerfume</span></a></p>

Craig Lee<p>Paraphrasing a co-worker a long time ago, "'Still Life With Woodpecker' is must reading for redheads." It was also a good gateway drug to he who became one of my favorite authors.
