More Books by Anne Tyler All Product Details Review-A-Day "With her 17th novel, Tyler has delivered something startlingly fresh while retaining everything we love about her work. Digging to America delivers the blithely insular, suburban Baltimore characters we expect, but it's a bait-and-switch move....Her success at portraying culture clash and the complex longings and resentments of those new to America confirms what we knew, or should have known, all along: There's nothing small about Tyler's world, nothing precious about her attention to the hopes and fears of ordinary people." Ron Charles, The Washington Post Book World

Anne Tyler's new novel cleverly critiques US culture by contrasting the lives of two adoptive families. By Heller McAlpin Anne Tyler's 17th novel has a timeliness that is unusual for her. In previous books, such as "Breathing Lessons" and "Back When We Were Grownups," she explored the tug between domesticity and freedom, mainly in quirky households in Baltimore, Md. One of her focuses, usually treated with wry humor, is what she has called "day-to-day endurance." In Digging to America , Tyler considers what it is to feel like a foreigner in America, and what it is to be (or become) American. The novel concerns two families who meet as they pick up adopted Korean babies at the Baltimore airport in 1997. The Donaldsons are all-American, the Yazdans originally from Iran. Over the next six years, their lives intertwine in unexpected ways. At a time when the US is convulsed with questions about immigrant rights and relations with Iran, this book takes on heightened political relevance.

Curious readers can find 25-year-old interviews with her on the Internet. They can learn that she was born in Minneapolis in 1941, that writer Reynolds Price helped launch her career as a novelist while she was studying Russian at Duke University, that she married Iranian-born psychiatrist Taghi Mohammad Modarressi and raised a family, that her 11th novel, Breathing Lessons , won the 1988 Pulitzer Prize for fiction, that after all these years she still lives in Baltimore, Maryland. Readers can discover all these details and still be left wondering what this actually reveals about Tyler's deeply satisfying, deceptively simple novels or the woman who writes them. "I'm too shy for personal appearances, and I've found out that anytime I talk about my writing, I can't do any writing for many weeks afterward," Tyler tells BookPage via e-mail.

She answered questions sent to her via email by USA TODAY. REVIEW: Tyler plays with culture, family in America Q: You stopped giving in-person interviews in 1977 and don't do book tours. Why? A: I have learned that when I talk about writing, I stop doing any writing for some time afterward. (I always say there must be some sort of Writing Elf who retreats in a sulk the instant he's exposed.) An e-mail interview like this one is slightly less disruptive because at least I'm in control of when it takes place and how long it lasts, so that it doesn't impinge quite so much.

Sciences Health Arts College Journals Literature Science History Business ... Ask a Question When The Accidental Tourist was published in 1985, Anne Tyler was already a well-established and successful author. Her tenth novel soon became a bestseller and won the National Book Critics Circle Award. Most reviewers consider this to be her best work. The novel has also been made into a successful film starring William Hurt and Kathleen Turner. As in many of her previous works, The Accidental Tourist focuses on the complexities of family relationships. In this story, middle-aged travel writer Macon Leary finds himself alone and miserable after his son is murdered and his wife leaves him. As a result, he realizes that he is in danger of becoming "a dried up kernel of a man that nothing real penetrates." During the course of the novel, however, Macon confronts his suffering and carves out a new life for himself with the help of an energetic and eccentric young woman and her son. Tyler's intermingling of comedy and tragedy results in a bittersweet tale of loss and recovery. Critics applaud the novel's lovingly drawn and compelling characters and Tyler's insight into the complex inner workings of the American family. New in The Accidental Tourist Group bmadnick answered a question: I don't think the story is a commentary about modern marriage as much as it is...

Knopf; 285 pages; $24 cloth Anne Tyler understands the mystery of aging in her new novel By Jonelle Bonta A LL OF ANNE TYLER'S novels are set in the Baltimore area. None is punctuated by tragedies or disasters, and the action in each book moves with the ebb and flow of life, not the rush of melodrama. Each is full of gentle surprises, as quirky and individualistic as her characters. Tyler's main subject is deceptively simple: How screwball can a person be and still live a relatively normal life? Her newest novel, A Patchwork Planet , tells the story of Barnaby Gaitlin, the younger son of an old-money family (they even have their own foundation) who got in trouble as a teenager for breaking into homes, not to steal but to read people's mail and study family photo albums. Barnaby is divorced and has a 9-year-old daughter, Opal, but his ex-wife says that it would be better for Opal if Barnaby stopped his visits. He lives in a basement apartment and works for Rent-A-Back, a labor service for older people who can no longer do the heavy work necessary to keep their homes. Young, good-looking and making his way his own way, Barnaby is reasonably happy. But he faces the indifference of his father and the sharp disapproval of his mother while dealing with the pain of seeing his clients deteriorate and die and deciding what to do about Sophia, the very respectable lady with whom he becomes involved.

Bright, independent and focused, Sarah has ruthlessly pursued fulfillment as a writer. She divorced after six years of an early marriage and as a result lost custody of her son (whose paternity is in doubt) to her ex-husband, who is the brother of the man Sarah has always loved, Jack McAllen – who married Sarah's best friend, Eugenie Moore. Now Jack calls Sarah to tell her that Eugenie is dying. Sarah flies to Nashville, where she sees Eugenie one last time and feels again the passion for Jack that derailed her life once before. When she goes to Paris to write a screenplay and Jack pursues her, Sarah fears that she must make a choice between her high-powered career and the needs of her heart.

In the little pondside hut also known as the "finishing school," eccentric, free-spirited Ursula DeVane opened up a world full of magical possibilities for Justin, teaching her valuable lessons of love and loyalty, and encouraging her to change, to learn, to grow. But the lessons of the finishing school have their dark side as well, as Justin learns how deep friendship can be shattered by shocking, unforgivable betrayal.

Women’s Fiction Digging to America - Anne Tyler Digging to America - Anne Tyler Breathing Lessons, Back When We Were Grownups Author's New Novel Teresa Shaw Aug 25, 2007 Anne Tyler's novel explores what it means to be an American from the eyes of an outsider. In Digging to America, Maryam Yazdan, an Iranian American who, after living in America for 35 years, comes to terms with her feelings of being an outsider. Maryam's son Sami and daughter in law Ziba have adopted a daughter from Korea. On the day of the girl's arrival, the family gathers at the airport. The family learns that another infant girl is being adopted from Korea on the same day, by Bitsy and Brad Donaldson. Bitsy impulsively invites the Yazdan family to her house to join their "arrival day" celebration, and a bond is immediately formed. Maryam is there as Ziba and Bitsy get to know each other and their daughters. The contrast between the families is striking. Bitsy and Brad are the quintessential American couple white, middle class, and as American as anyone could be. Ziba and Sami are Iranian American, and follow traditions both American and Iranian. They Yazdans choose to raise their daughter Susan in an American fashion. The Donaldsons try to preserve their daughter's Korean heritage by dressing her in traditional clothes and naming her Jin-Ho. She eventually revolts, and demands to be called "Jo" instead.

Their trip takes them from Baltimore to a country town in Pennsylvania.
