    Yes, Tom Robbins is coming to DIESEL in Malibu on Thursday June 19th!  We couldn’t believe it when the publisher said yes to our request for him to come to Malibu!  So, in our excitement we’ve decided to start up a Tom Robbins Book Group in anticipation of his arrival.  Our first book: Even Cowgirls Get the Blues.  Classic Tom Robbins, this is the brilliant and hysterical tale of large-thumbed Sissy Hankshaw’s wild adventures.  It may be THE iconic novel of  ‘70’s American culture.  It is a fun read, or re-read, and discussions promise to be hilarious.  The first Tom Robbins Book Group, discussing Even Cowgirls Get the Blues, will meet Wednesday May 7th at 6pm.  (To sign up for the Book Group email us at Malibu@dieselbookstore.com, or call us at 310.456.9961.)

    Our second book will be Robbins’ latest memoir Tibetan Peach Pie: A True Account of an Imaginative Life.  The book pubs on May 27th and we will begin reading it as soon as it comes out. Then we will have a Book Group Meeting, along with his public reading at our store in Malibu, on Thursday June 19th!  To pre-order your copy of his book (and get a ticketed seat with each book purchased), email us at Malibu@dieselbookstore.com, or call us at 310.456.9961. Space should fill up quickly, so jump right in!

    Tibetan Peach Pie is a powerful memoir by one of our finest writers.  He embodies the bold, adventurous, playful, and imaginative American life found in Whitman and Twain, and regenerated in the counterculture of the 60’s and 70’s.  From Even Cowgirls Get the Blues to Still-Life With Woodpecker, Jitterbug Perfume to Fierce Invalids Home From Hot Climates, he has entertained, prompted, and inspired readers to adventures of our own, whether in the realms of philosophical speculation, or travels far and wide. We are thrilled to have Tom Robbins come to Malibu for this event for his new memoir, Thursday June 19th.  We look forward to reading, discussing, and celebrating his great books with you over the next few months. 

    Happy Reading!

    John and all DIESELfolk
