About this listen
How does a man addicted to routine - a man who flosses his teeth before love-making - cope with the chaos of everyday life? With the loss of his son, the departure of his wife and the arrival of Muriel, a dog trainer from the Meow-Bow dog clinic, Macon's attempts at ordinary life are tragically and comically undone.
A heartfelt novel from the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of The Amateur Marriage and Breathing Lessons, now available as an audiobook.
Critic Reviews
Her masterpiece
Brilliant, funny, sad and sensitive
Anne Tyler gets better with every book, and this one is a triumph – funny, profound, sad and ultimately reassuring
Warmly entertaining and sharply organised against cuteness or mush
The Accidental Tourist is one of Anne Tyler’s best books
A beautiful, incandescent, heartbreaking, exhilarating book… The Accidental Tourist cuts so close to the bone that it leaves one aching with pleasure and pain. Words fail me: one cannot reasonably expect fiction to be much better than this
Everything this author writes is shot through with intelligent insight, humour and humanity
I’m inspired by every word that she writes
This is a classic Anne Tyler novel that plays with the tension between the comic and the sentimental
