Publisher's Summary
Meet Macon Leary - a travel writer who hates both travel and strangeness. Grounded by loneliness, comfort, and a somewhat odd domestic life, Macon is about to embark on a surprising new adventure, arriving in the form of a fuzzy-haired dog obedience trainer who promises to turn his life around.
©1986 Anne Tyler (P)2011 Audible, Inc.
What the Critics Say
"Not a character, including Macon's dog Edward, is untouched by delightful eccentricity in this charming story, full of surprises and wisdom. All of Tyler's novels are wonderful; this is her best yet." (Libarary Journal)
"Comic.... Sweetly perverse.... A novel animated by witty invention and lively personalities." (Time)

"Better than the movte"
What did you love best about The Accidental Tourist?Anne Tyler creates wonderful off-beat characters who are totally believable and places them in real-life delimmas
Who was your favorite character and why?Muriel the dog trainer . Though she and Megan are both from Baltimore, she is from a cultural background that contrasts poignantly with his.
Have you listened to any of Joe Barrett’s other performances before? How does this one compare?Joe Barrett renders the character's voices in a way that distinguishes each one.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?Thisbook's multi-layered story is a treat to be savored again and again.
Any additional comments?As with all Anne Tyler's works, this book makees you feel you have shared her charscter's lives. Also, she makes the city of Baltimore an integral part of the story.
