The Accidental Tourist: A Novel

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER â€¢ Macon Leary is a travel writer who hates both travel and anything out of the ordinary. He is grounded by loneliness and an unwillingness to compromise his creature comforts when he meets Muriel, a deliciously peculiar dog-obedience trainer who up-ends Maconâ€™s insular worldâ€“and thrusts him headlong into a remarkable engagement with life.

Praise for The Accidental Tourist

â€œPoignant . . . funny . . . The Accidental Tourist is one of her best. . . . [Tyler] has never been stronger.â€â€”The New York Times

â€œBittersweet . . . evocative . . . Itâ€™s easy to forget this is the warm lull of fiction; you half-expect to run into her characters at the dry cleaners. . . . Tyler [is] a writer of great compassion.â€â€”The Boston Globe

â€œTyler has given us an endlessly diverting book whose strength gathers gradually to become a genuinely thrilling one.â€â€”Los Angeles Times

â€œA delight . . . a graceful comic novel about getting through life.â€â€”The Wall Street Journal

â€œA rarely equaled richness and depth . . . Delicious humor . . . Without Anne Tyler, American fiction would be an immeasurably bleaker place.â€â€”Newday

â€œIncandescent, heartbreaking, exhilarating . . . One cannot reasonably expect fiction to be much better than this."â€”The Washington Post
