She writes with so much clarity and her characters are so interesting you could almost see, feel, smell and taste them. The two Alices - McDemott and Munro - won my heart but not enough motivation for me to look, buy and read their other books right away.Īnne Tyler is different. Of course, I loved Virginia Woolf, Emilie Bronte, Muriel Sparks, Carlson McCullers, Flannery O’Brien, and Iris Murdoch but they are all dead. Here is Anne Tyler who I never thought to be an author I would enjoy reading.Ī couple of years back, with only 200+ read books, I was having a hard time naming my favorite contemporary female authors. The whole experience is like finding a gold mine. Then last Friday, when I was winding down with the second book, I bought Breathing Lessons and I am now reading it. After reading her The Accidental Tourist I went to the bookstore and bought Dinner at the Homesick Restaurant and read right away. Just like the saying when it rains, it pours, I am having an Anne Tyler Book Festival. This is my first time to read 3 books by an author in succession: one, two, three.
