A Slipping-Down Life by Anne Tyler

rating:
This is one of Tyler's earlier works, but one of the most recent I read. I could really tell that it was an earlier novel (perhaps her first published?), but I still found it a good read. She has such a wonderful way of creating these quirky characters and quirky situations. That is one of the things I have taken away from her books - putting two strange dynamics together and seeing what happens. The character of Evie is lost and a bit melancholy and ends up with a "rock star." It's a great premise and for an early novel, Tyler did a lot with it. I do see how greatly she improved though.
All of Tyler's novels, to me, are cinematical. It's not wonder so many of have been into feature films and TV movies. "A Slipping Down Life" is worth seeing, in my opinion. I love the actors and while the film is not going to blow you away, it is a good adaptation of the novel.
