"The Accidental Tourist" - one of the most famous novels of Anne Tyler. And it is again a family story - about the precariousness of relationships and life in general, about trying to find yourself, not climbing out of your own shell. Macon Leary writes travel guides, but he hates traveling with all his soul. His guidebooks are collections of information on how to make yourself at home on yet another forced and unbearable trip, to minimize the intrusion of a foreign and unpleasant world into your life. Macon and his wife suffered a terrible tragedy - the senseless death of their teenage son. Since then, they seem to be lost in this life and their marriage is rapidly falling apart. From now on everyone will go their own way - random tourists, wandering wherever they go in the hope that one day they will meet a fellow traveler. A sad and very funny novel by an American classic about how the scary and the comical walk hand in hand, how habits try to stifle life, how in the ordinary lurks horror, and in the unknown - hope.
