意外的旅客 – The Accidental Tourist by Anne Tyler

《意外的旅客》是普利策奖得主安•泰勒的代表作,获全美书评人协会奖、大使图书奖。

梅肯•利瑞擅长撰写无微不至的旅行指南,他心中的理想生活是一切中规中矩,像裹在胶囊里那样过一辈子。然而,十二岁的儿子伊森忽然被持枪劫匪杀害了,他的死摧毁了原本平静的生活。妻子莎拉搬离家中,梅肯成了单身汉。

经历了突发的一系列变故,伊森养的小狗爱德华像疯了一样乱叫乱咬人。梅肯舍不得扔掉儿子的狗,只好求助于一位个性十足的女驯狗师,生活从此被翻天覆地地改变……

人生没有指南,它是无法预先安排的旅程,下一步终究要你自己来选。前一秒你可能正因为这部小说开怀大笑,下一秒也许就湿了眼眶。美国媒体盛赞:如果没有安•泰勒,美国小说界将是一个无比荒凉的地方。

In this irresistible #1 New York Times best-selling novel, Anne Tyler explores the slippery alchemy of attracting opposites, and the struggle to rebuild one’s life after unspeakable tragedy.

Travel writer Macon Leary hates travel, adventure, surprises, and anything outside of his routine. Immobilized by grief, Macon is becoming increasingly prickly and alone, anchored by his solitude and an unwillingness to compromise his creature comforts. Then he meets Muriel, an eccentric dog trainer too optimistic to let Macon disappear into himself. Despite Macon’s best efforts to remain insulated, Muriel up-ends his solitary, systemized life, catapulting him into the center of a messy, beautiful love story he never imagined. A fresh and timeless tale of unexpected bliss, The Accidental Tourist showcases Tyler’s talents for making characters—and their relationships—feel both real and magical.

“Incandescent, heartbreaking, exhilarating…One cannot reasonably expect fiction to be much better than this.” —The Washington Post
