Recommended article: Anne Tyler on her new novel
“Just as Joyce Carol Oates or Lorrie Moore always choose the dark side of the everyday moon, Tyler prefers the visible one, the one closest to the reader. He then plays to sharpen it with the emotional pencil sharpener that he masters best, free indirect style (they tell us what Liam thinks, Liam tells us what he thinks), with impeccable dialogues -in the form of a divan in which Liam and his family confess and portrayed before an imaginary psychoanalyst in the form of a reader of Anne Tyler-, and with high doses of subtlety in the deployment of their creatures through the text of Noah's compass."
