Representaion To Books The Accidental Tourist

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.

Assessment Of Books The Accidental Tourist

This is a reread from many years ago. I've read maybe half a dozen of Anne Tyler's books over the years, and I think this is my favorite. I still don't know how I feel about the ending, but the lack of certainty, I think, is part of the story's appeal. Life is messy. And sometimes, letting decisions happen to us instead of us making them ourselves is all too easy.

Julie and Joe talk about Anne Tyler (and Larry McMurtry) as a writer who "accurately communicates my desire to read and write about the two things that mean the most to me in this life: heart and groin." Which, Julie, lol, "groin," that's right there with "moist" on the list of Words That Could Technically Be About Sex But Will Kill The Mood Right Dead. oh yes babyis your groin moist right nowwhat were we talking about? Right, this person whom I've never read but now she's going on the list.

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

I do love Anne Tyler and this book was, per usual, a great read.

Macon Leary writes travel companions under the nom de plume The Accidental Tourist. The irony is that while he helps thousands of people keep their lives together as they travel, he cannot help his own life from falling apart before his eyes.This is my first Anne Tyler, a writer who I've always relegated to someone that my mother might enjoy. To give context, my mother's reading habits consist of whatever was 3 for 2 in Tesco. However, since many people who I respect have given very positive

I am an unabashed Ann Tyler fanboy. She can write about things that in another author`s hands would be mundane or cliched but with her remain completely riveting, warm and funny and desperately sad. The Accidental Tourist is the story of a man with very limited ability to handle change who in the aftermath of his sons death tries to live. This may not sound like the funniest scenario ever but there are some great moments. Loved it.

Accidental tourists are pretty annoying! (These are those pesky travelers who refuse to give up all their customs, their comforts; refuse to get lost a little in the foreignness, to LIVE.) And this book isn't. A success then! (considering the subject matter.) Yeah, the protagonist is a huge bore & as he has one of the best jobs of all time is doubly douche-ey, but he has a reason to be maudlin and dissatisfied. Lifetime Movie Network viewers would have a blast... & the novel feels
