	The Observer \| Comment \| The Observer Profile: Anne Tyler
		The morning after Anne Tyler won the Pulitzer Prize in 1989, she politely dismissed an inquisitive reporter with the explanation that she was too busy writing to talk; they had interrupted her in the middle of a sentence.
		Tyler is the Plain Jane of American fiction, both in style and subject matter, but it is this deceptive comeliness and innocence that appeals to her readers: she holds up a forgiving mirror to Middle America.
		Tyler's only 'guilty secret' is that like most novelists she has 'no secret hobbies or extra curricular activities at all - we are too busy daydreaming'.

	Literary Encyclopedia: Tyler, Anne
		Tyler's detachment from the impact of American Southern history may be explained in part by the fact that she is a Southerner by relocation rather than birth.
		Tyler began the subsequent decade with the publication of Morgan's Passing in 1980, but her next novel, Dinner at the Homesick Restaurant (1982), is considered by most critics to be her watershed work and remains Tyler's personal favorite.
		While Anne Tyler is not without her detractors, who consider her work anti-feminist, politically incorrect, and far too simple and sweet to be worthy of serious study, she maintains a strong following in both the scholarly and popular reading communities.

	BookPage Interview January 2004: Anne Tyler
		The problem with knowing Anne Tyler is that she seems determined to resist our desire to make her a star, a personality.
		Tyler's great art has been to illuminate her characters' lives with wry wit and insight, not to exalt them to some larger, brighter stage.
		Asked to comment more generally on her understanding of successful marriages, however, Tyler writes that she'd "feel presumptuous making any general pronouncements on the subject." Still, Tyler affirms that the mismatch in her fictional marriage is not due simply to Michael's and Pauline's opposite temperaments.

	St Charles Public Library - Short Bios, Anne Tyler
		Dysfunctional families inspire Anne Tyler and, thankfully, provide her loyal readers and new fans alike with novels keenly sensitive to this all-too-human condition.
		Though born in Minnesota (in October, 1941), Tyler lived in a series of communes throughout the South until she was eleven, a peripatetic and peculiar childhood that Tyler admits contributed to a sense of alienation that would influence her later works.
		Tyler never fails to be fascinated with, and inspired by, the resiliency of the human spirit, especially within the context of families who may not always like each other, but eventually, learn how to live together.

	Salon.com Books \| "Back When We Were Grownups" by Anne Tyler
		Tyler does such a good job of convincing us of her heroine's unhappiness that the conclusion of "Back When We Were Grownups" just doesn't convince.
		Tyler brings all her writerly brio to this novel's many boisterous, funny party scenes, each meant to convey the message that family life, God love it, is a chaotic, imperfect, but somehow glorious human muddle.
		I used to think of Tyler as the bard of the world's unsung nurturers -- many of them mothers but not all of them women, by any means -- a novelist who enabled them to discover the dignity and rejoice in the rewards of their chronically uncelebrated lives.

	National Review: Novel events - Anne Tyler (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Miss Tyler was recently elected to the American Academy of Arts and Letters, and she has become the subject of scholarly articles and dissertations.
		Miss Tyler is of course a "woman writer" ("among the finest women writers publishing in this country today," according to the Philadelphia Inquirer), and this can't be dismissed as an element in her success.
		Miss Tyler is more or less a realistic writer, and one can sense in her admiring critics a certain relief at finding approachable characters, accessible narratives, and old-fashioned plots after struggles with modernism, minimalism, metafiction, etc.; this too may be a source of her appeal.

		The praises Anne Tyler sings to the stepped-on, unappreciated nurturers of the world are starting to strike a sour note.
		Anne Tyler's fiction is readable the way certain white wines are drinkable: It goes down easy, it delivers a mild, pleasant sensation and it isn't likely to go to your head in any troublesome way.
		As agreeable and as amusing as Tyler's work often is, her books have an annoying tendency to conclude on a distinctly unsatisfying note.

	Mismatched matrimony from Anne Tyler
		Anne Tyler's new novel The Amateur Marriage, however, cuts like a knife -- slowly, coolly, steadily -- yielding a slice of complex family entanglements.
		But Tyler's mastery of dialogue and her uncanny ability to move time with the stroke of a word enables the reader to skate effortlessly rather than trudge through those "missing" moments.
		What began as a slow read ultimately churned into fifth gear, which was clearly Tyler's intention from the get-go: to drag me home, reluctant feet scraping against her welcome mat.

		In perhaps her most mainstream, accessible novel so far, Tyler spins a tale of marriage and middle-class lives, in an age when social standards and life expectations have gone askew.
		This is another typical Tyler union of opposites: Maggie is impetuous, scatterbrained, klutzy, accident prone and garrulous; Ira is self-contained, precise, dignified, aloof with, however, an irritating (or endearing) habit of whistling tunes that betray his inner thoughts.
		Tyler is at the top of her powers.

	The Amateur Marriage by Anne Tyler - read our review
		Tyler lets the actions of her skillfully drawn characters, both adults and children, set the tone of the times.
		Tyler is not content to merely examine these lives of suburban quiet desperation, she does weave a heart rending subplot into the mix when the middle aged Antons suddenly become sole caregivers for their three year old grandson, Pagan.
		When Anne Tyler invents a business she is unusually imaginative and this is the case yet again with Rent-a-Back.

	Amazon.co.uk: Books: Back When We Were Grownups (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		But Tyler knows exactly now to mingle the sweet with the sour and in Back When We Were Grownups she manages this balancing act like the old pro she is. Even the familiar backdrop--shabby-genteel Baltimore, which resembles a virtual game preserve of Tylerian eccentrics--seems freshly observed.
		Anne Tyler has a wonderful way with words - I know of no writer who is better with similes and metaphors, and she has an unparalleled ability to exactly capture a gesture, a reaction, a look even, in a few well-chosen words.
		I love Anne Tyler's work to bits and have every single one of her novels, and will keep buying them as long as she writes them.

		Themes that appear in all of Tyler’s writing are encapsulated in the life of the story’s protagonist, Bet Blevins, whom the reader meets on the day she is to institutionalize her mentally handicapped son.
		Tyler is well known for her ability and propensity for writing about ordinary people, a trait she shares with one of her greatest literary influences, the southern writer Eudora Welty.
		Tyler developed an affinity for the short story form in the early 1970s, as it allowed her to balance the demands of motherhood and writing while her children were young, and in the latter half of the decade, she published stories in many magazines, including the Ladies’ Home Journal, the New Yorker, and McCall’s.
