Redhead by the Side of the Road by Anne Tyler In this latest novel by American literary giant, Anne Tyler, we follow a few days in the life of Micah, a middle-aged janitor-cum-computer fixer who would barely merit a glance from a passing stranger, but whose outwardly mundane existence disguises a person, a life and a soul as unique and complex as any other. With wit, style and pathos, Tyler’s simple prose brings Micah’s real depths, weaknesses and strengths to the surface as he encounters challenges variously thrown up by his difficulty in reading girlfriends past and present (or their difficulty in reading him?), his crazy family, his neighbours’ plumbing, the customers of his modest tech business and a teenager claiming to be his long lost son... Tyler’s novel mirrors its main protagonist - on the surface slim and modest, but dig deeper and you will find real treasure.
