Anne Tyler
Instant New York Times Best Seller
Long Listed for The Booker Prize
“Tyler's novels are always worth scooping up - but especially this gently amusing soother, right now.” (NPR)
From the beloved and best-selling Anne Tyler, a sparkling new novel about misperception, second chances, and the sometimes elusive power of human connection.
Micah Mortimer is a creature of habit. A self-employed tech expert, superintendent of his Baltimore apartment building, cautious to a fault behind the steering wheel, he seems content leading a steady, circumscribed life. But one day, his routines are blown apart when his woman friend (he refuses to call anyone in her late 30s a "girlfriend") tells him she's facing eviction, and a teenager shows up at Micah's door claiming to be his son. These surprises, and the ways they throw Micah's meticulously organized life off-kilter, risk changing him forever.
An intimate look into the heart and mind of a man who finds those around him just out of reach, and a funny, joyful, deeply compassionate story about seeing the world through new eyes, Redhead by the Side of the Road is a triumph, filled with Anne Tyler's signature wit and gimlet-eyed observation.

Reseñas de la Crítica
"Tyler’s warmly comedic, quickly read tale, a perfect stress antidote, will delight her fans and provides an excellent ‘first’ for readers new to this master of subtle and sublime brilliance.... If Tyler’s large-cast, many-faceted novels are symphonies, this portrait of a man imprisoned by his routines is a concerto.... Radiantly polished and emotionally intricate...Tyler’s perfectly modulated, instantly enmeshing, heartrending, funny, and redemptive tale sweetly dramatizes the absurdities of flawed perception and the risks of rigidity." (Donna Seaman, Booklist)
"Characteristically tender... Suffused with feeling and very moving." (Kirkus Reviews starred review)

As Usual The author delves deep into peoples human failings and their misinterpreted feelings
and how they affect their lives. This one has a happy ending.
The narrator was perfect. My only complaint? It ended too soon.
Cant wait for her next novel!
Wonerful Book Ended too Soon!

As for the author, she may be good or not because this " book " seemed to be building up to further a story, one expects resolution of at least 2 of the strands but not an abrupt end. This would be fine as a short story but it sure isn't " a novel " , although the cost is the same as a proper, full length novel. No obligation to the reader? Really ? As it is marketed as a stand alone novel, the reader could only think that she got fed up, bailed out & didn't finish it, or she ran out if time.
Further, what's up with the title?
Seems irrelevant...that is SO out if style..
abandoned?
