I love the way she can give you a moment by moment description of what is a very ordinary life....and make it fascinating. En Micah Mortimer té poc més de quaranta anys, viu al nord de Baltimore i arregla ordinadors a domicili, a part de fer feinetes de manteniment a l'edifici on viu. I és persona de rutines estrictes. Té una relació amb la Cassia Slade, però cadascú viu a casa seva i es veuen diverses vegades per setmana. La seva família bulliciosa l'aprecia i es riu una mica de les seves rareses. I, tot i la seva vida poc vistosa, se sent feliç. Però la vida que portava se li comença a esmicolar quan la Cassia li explica que la faran fora de casa seva i el fill de divuit anys d'una antiga nòvia de la universitat es presenta a casa d'en Micah i li diu que podria ser fill seu. La guanyadora dels premis Pulitzer, National Book Critics Circle i Pen/Faulkner, amb l'aparença de senzillesa i transparència que li són característiques, dona una obra mestra on cada detall és profundament revelador. Anne Tyler escriu amb empatia i perspicàcia per la natura humana i en aquesta novel·la breu i intensa posa el focus sobre un personatge que no connecta amb el seu voltant... fins que no li queda altre remei. This was my first Anne Tyler book but it won't be the last. It's a perfectly structured page-turner and yet there are no significant events or drama, just flawless storytelling. I am a huge fan of Anne Tyler, but this book is not one of her best. While the characters in all her novels are damaged, Micah Mortimer, her protagonist in this book is just annoying. An under achiever with what may be a beginning case of OCD, he seems to be sleepwalking through life, and even the ending that I suppose is supposed to illustrate redemption, falls flat. A huge disappointment. sem resenhas | adicionar uma resenha
"From the beloved and best-selling Anne Tyler, a sparkling new novel about misperception, second chances, and the sometimes elusive power of human connection. Micah Mortimer is a creature of habit. A self-employed tech expert, superintendent of his Baltimore apartment building, cautious to a fault behind the steering wheel, he seems content leading a steady, circumscribed life. But one day his routines are blown apart when his woman friend (he refuses to call anyone in her late thirties a "girlfriend") tells him she's facing eviction, and a teenager shows up at Micah's door claiming to be his son. These surprises, and the ways they throw Micah's meticulously organized life off-kilter, risk changing him forever. An intimate look into the heart and mind of a man who finds those around him just out of reach, and a funny, joyful, deeply compassionate story about seeing the world through new eyes, Redhead by the Side of the Road is a triumph, filled with Anne Tyler's signature wit and gimlet-eyed observation"-- Não foram encontradas descrições de bibliotecas. |

Ara és un xicot solitari i una mica maniós, que tot d'una i gràcies a les reflexions que li produeixen els fets que li comparegui el fill d'una antiga nòvia, per una banda, i la seva nòvia actual, vol donar un cop de timó a la seva vida. Una vida tan petita i quotidiana com les de la majoria de nosaltres.
La traducció fantàstica, com sempre. (
