Important Essays, Important Themes
I've loved this book since 1980, when I bought a copy and read it and lent it and recommended it many times over since then. This new edition is even better. The pieces, personal and trenchant, ingeniously selected by Sternburg over twenty years ago, have withstood the test of time. There is deep feeling, variety, astonishing articulation of complex things, and warmth and humor in these ...

Messier is Better!!!
This book is the perfect vidication for those of us who are hopelessly sloppy. How can we contend with the celebrated neatness of this person or that person? How can we explain that there is indeed a method to our madness? We are messy for a reason! Anne Tyler does a wonderful job championing our cause and Mitra Modarressi's illustrations are perfect to keep children rivited. I read this to ...

Interestingly Common People
Anne Tyler does a great job of writing about somewhat ordinary people and making them very interesting. Really she just does a great job of showing how complicated everyone is, even the people that appear boring at first glance. Danny works at a post office and Lucy walks in and contemplates whether to send a package parcel post or priority mail. And because of her choice Danny is in love. ...

YES, IT IS AVAILABLE ON AMAZON !!
This book is indeed available, 103 copies to be exact, and starting at $.01. Just plug in Anne Tyler in search line above, and you will find this book, I believe, on the 2-3 page. If that is inaccurate, just keep on looking, I found it quickly and purchased it for a penny + s&h. It's a good anthology and my review of it is the first one.

This Book Is Over Priced
In another area of Amazon, there are at least 10 copies of this anthology selling for $.01. I don't know why this is priced so high, but it looks like someone's trying to make a killing on some poor unsuspecting buyer! Just plug in Anne Tyler on search button and you will find 144 copies of this same hardback, same date of publication, unabridged etc. starting at $.01 from many different ...

Tyler continues to delight
From Anne Tyler comes her latest novel Digging to America. I first encountered (?) Tyler when I lived in Washington DC, in the late 70s and early 80s. Browsing in the bookshop, I came across a hardback of Morgan's Passing. I leafed through it and bought it. From beginning to end, I was transported into Morgan's world created by Tyler, the Baltimore based writer. I used to go to ...

Best of the South: From the Second Decade of New Stories from the South

Algonquin Books, 2005

Truly the Best
Each year, I look forward to Algonquin's Best Stories of the South. To have the best of the best all in one book is a treat. Some of my favorite stories reside in these pages. "Memorial Day" is one of my ALL TIME favorite short stories. If you enjoy the short story form--and appreciate the Southern voice in its varied and rich tones, then this should be a staple on your bookshelf.

Algonquin Books, 1996

Every story is a gem
I love this book and I find myself dipping back into it over and over for some favorites ("Charlotte" by Tony Earley is a classic). I took the book on my honeymoon and it is part of the reason why I remember that as such a wonderful time. There really is something here for everybody: memorable characters, quiet and not-so-quiet human drama, and -- that gorgeous language! A must-have for fans ...

The Amateur Marriage

Anne Tyler

Random House Audio, 2004

A highly imperfect union
You can easily imagine that Tyler's first title was "Immature Marriage" but being a wordsmith, the more interesting title (and concept)emerged. (Amateur is a word from the Latin, which means "to love.") And, the umbrella question of the whole book is whether this is love... is it passion, is it filling in the blanks of one's personality and abilities, is it a societal acceptable married front, ...

I LOVE ANNE TYLER
Only Anne Tyler can make you care about the most unlikely people doing rather uninteresting ordinary things, so much so, that you don't want the book to end. She is a true master. Her writing is deft. Her writing is an experience. You always laugh and you're always touched and you're always richer after an Anne Tyler book. I loved Patchwork Planet!! I also highly recommend Accidental Tourist.

Berkley, 1983

The trademark flaws of their lives
Anne Tyler's ninth novel is dominated by a presence--the strong-willed, harried Pearl Tull, mother of three--and an absence--her husband Beck, who has abandoned them. Theirs is a perpetually incomplete family, and the "surviving" four family members spend the remainder of their lives with a peculiar form of homesickness, trying to repair the fissures that define their relationships. Like all ...

Pan Books, 1990

A Fascinating Character Portrait
"Celestial Navigation" is one of Anne Tyler's most difficult novels in terms of understanding the characters. It is not difficult to read, but rather extremely well-written and thought-out like all her books. What is most interesting to me about the book is the points of view Tyler chooses to use. The novel is the story of Jeremy Pauling, an artist who is practically unable to leave his boarding ...

The World's Greatest Living Author
I leaped from her ninth book straight into this, her twelfth. She's so masterful it's downright scary, folks. The sense of awe that great authors give me was one thing that drove me to write. But if I'd read Anne Tyler's best novels, such as this one, long ago, it might have scared me right back to washing dishes and bussing tables. I'm writing this review on a laptop in Malaysia and I know I ...

Timothy Tugbottom Says No!

1 review
Anne Tyler

Putnam Juvenile, 2005

A fresh version of a familiar story!
Timothy is an appealing and all too familiar protagonist to many people who know children. Resistant to change of any kind, he rejects any well-meant attempts to vary his menu, his wardrobe, his routine. Anne Tyler carefully paces his gradual awakening in this believable and satisfying tale. Mitra Modarressi's illustrations are wittily enchanting.
