Her only daughter got burned when their short-circuited Christmas tree went in flames. The clueless poor daughter was sleeping and got trapped inside her room. No one was with here in the house when that happened.

I’ve read and enjoyed most of Anne Tyler’s novels (starting with Searching for Caleb, which author Don Barthelme recommended to me years ago). A character from one of her first books (I think it was If Morning Ever Comes) provided the name I later gave to my daughter. The Accidental Tourist strikes closest to home with its theme of coping with a profound loss and then the ultimate redemption that comes from such an unexpected direction. It was while reading this book in about 1987 that I first f...more

Shelves: re-read, buddy-reads-with-jemidar

This is a warm, wise, funny, heart-breaking and ultimately life-affirming book. In Macon Leary, the man who writes travel books for people who hate to travel, Tyler has created an amazing character. His damaged psyche, his vulnerability, the gradual changes in his character and outlook as he starts to connect with the messiness of living leap off the page. This book makes me laugh out loud one moment and brings tears to my eyes the next. Although Macon is the centre of the novel, the supporting...more

I first read this back in the late eighties and loved it, and recently decided to do a re-read just to see if I still loved it as much. I've changed and my life circumstances have changed, so I wondered...

And I'm happy to say that not only do I still love it, but I think I love it a lot more than I did the first time around. Call it accumulated life experience if you like, but it had a resonance and a poignancy that touched me at a much deeper level. I laughed, I cried, I ch...more

I thoroughly enjoyed the characters, especially the Leary family (they over intellectualize everything, correct grammar, and have major OCD and I felt like I could relate to them so well). Ann Tyler has a unique style of writing a novel, which left me always wanting to know more. Everything she wants to say is there...but it may be hidden in symbolism, in conversations, in small actions. It reads almost like a play, in stage directions (Macon chooses a tie) and conversation. You have to read a little between the lines to catch the wealth of story that Tyler is offering.

I found myself very pleased with the end of the novel, which surprised me. I like Ann Tyler's way of sneaking up on you through an interesting story and then revealing to you at the end that what you believed were absolutes are actually gray areas (Barbara Kingsolver does this to me too).

From my standpoint, the (morally) right thing, the thing Macon should have done, was to try to stay with his wife. But, they weren't a good match, they no longer had children together, Muriel was so much better for him...and so I felt like he made the right choice, despite all I personally believe(d?) to the contrary. Which left me feeling...uncomfortable. Because more black and whites have just been proven grays after all...

But I realized that the book is not about deciding to leave a marriage or make it work. Macon and Sarah's marriage is really meant to illustrate people (like Macon) who lead "accidental" lives, who never "take steps." Tyler shows us that people who are trapped in their grooves, like the entire Leary clan, can "take steps" and can change and let new things and new experiences into their lives. Macon is a man who has always done things the same way, because it has been a way that has worked for him. After his son's death, however, it no longer became an adequate method for coping with life. To me this story is so hopeful and happy because Macon does find a new way of life and he realizes that there is not one right way to live, there can be many, and that is what makes life so full.(less)

Things I liked about the book: humorous details, the symbolism (the house, the dog), driving plot

Things I am not sure that I like: the guy's wife leaves him and he "takes up" with a vibrant young woman who has a kid and a hard life. The wife comes back. I don't know who I want him to be with, since his life has somewhat changed for the better with the younger woman, and she saves him from his bitter, OCD life, but he does still love his wife and to me marriage is a sacred bond... so who should h...more

It looks like I'm in the minority here, but I really did not enjoy this book. I couldn't sympathize with any of the characters. I thought Macon was whiny and indecisive. I couldn't be compelled to care about what he wanted, mostly because it was never made clear to me exactly what that was. He just seemed to bump along with whatever happened.

More than anything else, my problem with this book is that nothing happened. I kept thinking that possibly in the next chapter Macon would act in some way...more

This book brought tears streaming, but also made me laugh out loud - unusual for me. Macon Leary and his wife Sarah lost their only child the year prior to beginning of the story. It was a difficult year not only for them as individuals but also for their marriage. Anne Tyler lets us see Macon, whose life has been one of order and routine, now struggle with his grief and with a life without everything that has provided meaning to his life.

If you're interested in reading a book that will challenge every single emotion you thought was possible.....this one will not disappoint. I was able to step inside the psyche of every single character and understand to the fullest extent their feelings of loss, fear, sadness,desperation and frustration.....simply because I have been there myself.
This story will reveal what really happens when someone loses a child.

I finished this book a few days ago and have had to wait a few days to be able to write a review. I still am in awe of how such a slow story without any real standout events could make me miss it while I was at work and hate to turn to page and be one more closer to the end. I didn't particulary care for any of the characters until the end(except for the brash and tacky Muriel whom I loved all along).

Slow start, but I think that's what Tyler means to do to make you look forward to Muriel's entrance. She teases you with it and then pulls back, and then comes again...but we all know Muriel is not to be stopped! Am enjoying a change of pace in genre here. Thank you, Linda!

Macon's desire to insulate himself from anything that might hurt or be inconvenient, his resignedly dogmatic outlook on life, make him vulnerable to the illicit excitement that Muriel brings his way. This is a love story, but...more

First book by Anne Tyler I read - and was immediately hooked and had to seek out all her other books.
Unusually, there's a lot of humour in this book and it's probably all the better for it. Tyler paces the pathos with the humour really well so that it fits naturally into the narrative.
I'n not sure how to describe this book - it's about a travel-witer who has no sense of direction. Within the first few chapters we learn his son has died and his wife asks for a divorce. From then on Macon's life...more

Macon Leary is a man of routine. So much so that it borders on OCD. Men like Macon do not cope well with change. So when his wife leaves him after the loss of their son, his world is thrown upside down. This story follows his journey as he tries to leave a 'normal' life.

I read this book a few years ago and just reread it for the second time. (The copyright is 1985). It's a wonderful book, because, of course, Tyler's writing is so seamless, every word easing the story along, but also because of the characters in this book. For "The Accidental Tourist" is about love and about living one's life, and about families; but what stands out to me are the characters and how Tyler brings them to life.

Posso dire, però, che questo romanzo non mi è piaciuto moltissimo, e soprattutto che a non piacermi non è stata tanto la storia - che già conoscevo per aver visto nell'anno che fu il film di Lawrence Kasdan con William Hurt Kathleen Turner e Geena Davis al cinema, anzi ho scelto questo romanzo proprio perché 'già' conoscevo la storia - ma il modo in cui è scritto.
Per spiegarmi meglio, è uno di quei rari casi in cui applaudo allo sceneggiatore del film, che abile come un giardiniere, ha sfrondato le troppe lungaggini di una storia che se fosse passata per le mani, che so, di un Lish qualsiasi, sarebbe risultata molto più incisiva e penetrante.
Perché la storia di Macon e Sarah Leary, sposati da vent'anni, e... come si dice quando due genitori perdono un figlio? Possono due genitori essere 'orfani' a loro volta?
Ethan, dodici anni, viene ucciso in un bar durante una rapina, mentre si trova in campeggio, e la vita coniugale di Macon e Sarah si trascina ancora per un anno, dopo la sua morte, prima di frantumarsi, di esplodere e di implodere contemporaneamente. Ecco, la storia è la descrizione di questo sgretolamento della coppia di fronte ad un dolore che quasi sempre divide e difficilmente unisce, visto attraverso la storia di Macon, un uomo metodico, annoiato, compassato, scrittore di guide per uomini di affari, turisti per caso, a modo loro involontari, così come sembra essere involontario il suo aggirarsi dalle parti del proprio cuore, incapace com'è di prendere coscienza dei suoi sentimenti, del suo dolore, del fatto che la vita continui, comunque e per volontà di nessuno. Finché in questa vita che accetta passivamente tutto e che comprime dolore e delusione all'interno, non si insinua, ma forse più che insinuarsi si intrufola a tutti i costi, Muriel, eccentrica addestrarice di cani dalla vita disordinata e improvvisata, che con la scusa di addestrare Edward, il nevrotico cane di Macon, cerca di restituire un senso anche alla vita del suo padrone, invadendone l'esistenza come un turbine di vitalità.
Ma, mi ripeto, troppo troppo lungo, e troppe troppe parole usate per descrivere la famiglia di origine di Macon e quella di Muriel, quando già con molto meno la Tyler era riuscita a tratteggiare una storia dalla quale era impossibile non lasciarsi coinvolgere emotivamente.
Resta il fatto che, pur annoiandomi a tratti, non abbia fatto altro che mettere 'orecchie elettroniche' alle pagine del mio ebook, e che alcune di queste frasi riescano a raccontare con una perfezione che fa male ed apparente leggerezza cosa sia l'assenza - Lui ne osservava i cuscini a fiorami e si chiedeva con stupore come fosse possibile che uno spazio vuoto potesse apparire tanto pieno di una persona -, quanto sia difficile, credo impossibile, vivere lo stesso dolore nello stesso modo - Lo so che gli volevi bene, Macon, ma non posso fare a meno di pensare che non gliene volessi quanto me. La sua scomparsa non ti ha distrutto come me. Lo so che hai pianto per lui, ma nel modo in cui affronti le cose c'è un che di - come si dice -, di smorzato, che sia amore, dolore o qualsiasi altra cosa; è come se tu cercassi di filartela nella vita senza subire cambiamenti. -, come le diversità possano aiutare a creare armonia - E poi lei parlava tanto! Quasi senza tregua, mentre lui era il tipo di uomo per il quale il silenzio è meglio della musica (Senti! Suonano la mia canzone, diceva sempre, quando Sarah spegneva la radio.) -, che quando la vita sembra essere finita - Voglio dire: non credo che il matrimonio debba essere una cosa tanto comune. Credo veramente che debba essere un fatto eccezionale. Certo, le coppie perfette devono sposarsi, ma chi mai forma una coppia perfetta? -, e quando le cose sembrano essere destinate a restare sempre le stesse - Credo che dopo una certa età, la gente non abbia più scampo, Macon, disse lei. È con te che sono. È troppo tardi per cambiare. Ormai ho usato troppa parte della mia vita. -, tutto può cambiare -, Il tuo guaio, continuò lei, come se niente fosse, è che credi che la gente debba starsene rintanata nel suo involucro. Non credi alle aperture. Non credi allo scambio reciproco. Certo che no, ribatté lui, abbottonandosi il davanti della camicia.
Lo sai chi mi ricordi? Il telegramma che Harpo Marx mandò ai fratelli: Niente da dire. Harpo. -, anche se farlo vuol dire sopravvivere alla morte di un figlio che è destinato ad avere per sempre dodici anni - Era la loro immunità dal tempo che rendeva i morti tanto strazianti.(less)

I liked Breathing Lessons, and didn't care for Searching for Caleb. Leaving The Accidental Tourist for last, I find the third time's the charm. All three books are well-written--Tyler is obviously a gifted, and consistently good writer. All three have similar themes--particularly the tension between staying stuck and chaotic change. You can see this with the Leary family. Their life with their mother was chaotic and as a result the four children in the family dug in--creating their own rituals and sticking close together and resisting change.

This has become particularly toxic in Macon Leary, who has been driven to near immobility after his young son is murdered and his wife leaves him. Emblematic of his rut is his line of work--he writes and continually updates a line of books called the "Accidental Tourist" whose covers sport an armchair with wings. The idea is to tell Americans where they can find that McDonald's in London or Burger King in Paris, the most Americanized of hotels, so a business traveler can surround himself in a little bubble of home where nothing foreign can reach him. Even at home Macon invents systems to use up the least energy, to keep everything at equilibrium.

Then after his wife leaves him he meets Jill of All Trades Muriel--and she blows up his tidy little life. Where Macon has one line of work Muriel seemingly has dozens--running errands, care-taking, and above all, training dogs--which is how she gets to know Macon, and his corgi, Edward, is one of the most memorable characters in the book. I like that she's not romanticized or glamorized. Muriel is very real and very flawed: flaky, temperamental, impulsive, superstitious, no intellectual, a bit trashy, and around twenty years younger.

Of the three novels I've read by Tyler this is definitely the most romantic, and the one that's the most hopeful that people can change--and that change can be good. It's funny and warm and unforgettable.(less)
