The various domestic worlds we enter are delineated with easy skill; now they are poignant, now funny...Anne Tyler is brilliant at showing how the living press upon one another...The Accidental Tourist is one of her best books...She is steadily raising a body of fiction of major dimensions." -- Larry McMurtry, The New York Times Book Review.
