'The Short and Tragic Life' explores class, race amid struggle and wonder

Jeff Hobbs pays tribute to his friend as a force of nature in 'The Short Tragic Life of Robert Peace' There's one word in the title of Jeff Hobbs' new biography of his friend Robert Peace that doesn't quite belong there: "tragic." "The Short and Tragic Life of Robert Peace: A Brilliant Young Man Who Left Newark for the Ivy League" tells the story of Peace, the son of a cash-strapped single mother.
