Anne Tyler. Red Head at the Side of the Road

Pulitzer-prize winning American author Anne Tyler speaks with Kathryn Ryan about her 23rd book Red Head at the Side of the Road. Anne won the Pulitzer prize for Breathing Lessons in 1989, The Accidental Tourist was adapted into an acclaimed movie, and she has sold over ten million books around the world. Her newest novel is everything you would expect from Anne Tyler. Once again, with just a few master strokes of her pen, Tyler paints wonderfully descriptive bittersweet and empathetic portraits of people's lives and worlds. This time her protagonist is Micah the I.T. guy, who mistakes inanimate objects for something way more interesting.
