About this listen
Anne Tyler has been acknowledged as one of America's greatest living novelists. An inspiring chronicler of what lies beneath the everyday, she has written twenty-five acclaimed works, her first in 1964 when she was just twenty-three, and her most recent at the age of eighty-three. Her best-known novels include Dinner at the Homesick Restaurant and The Accidental Tourist, made into an Oscar-winning movie. She is greatly loved by her legions of fans all around the world.
But for decades, Anne avoided all public appearances and publicity, refusing to talk about herself or her life. Now, for the first time, this gripping biography unveils all—from Anne's childhood in a Quaker commune to her astonishing writing career and happy years in Baltimore, the city ever present in her work and almost a character in itself. Her story reveals the many experiences and preoccupations that were reflected in her writing and Anne emerges as a woman of great charm, warmth, and humor—but one far bleaker in her estimation of the human race than might ever be guessed.
