Fiction
“POIGNANT . . . FUNNY . . . THE ACCIDENTAL TOURIST
IS ONE OF HER BEST. . . . [TYLER] HAS NEVER BEEN
STRONGER.” –The New York Times
Macon
Leary is a travel writer who hates both travel and anything
out of the ordinary. He is grounded by loneliness and an
unwillingness to compromise his creature comforts when he
meets Muriel, a deliciously peculiar dog-obedience trainer
who up-ends Macon’s insular world–and thrusts him headlong
into a remarkable engagement with
life.
“BITTERSWEET . . . EVOCATIVE . . . It’s easy
to forget this is the warm lull of fiction; you half-expect
to run into her characters at the dry cleaners . . . Tyler
[is] a writer of great compassion.” –The Boston
Globe
“Tyler has given us an endlessly
diverting book whose strength gathers gradually to become a
genuinely thrilling one.” –Los Angeles
Times
“A DELIGHT . . . A GRACEFUL COMIC
NOVEL ABOUT GETTING THROUGH LIFE.” –The Wall Street
Journal
