For the novel "Breath Lessons", Ann Tyler received the Pulitzer Prize.
Maggie is a impulsive and direct, Aira is circumstances and leisurely. Maggie makes nonsense. There is no such sin for Aira. They have been married for twenty -eight years. Their life is ordinary, calm and ... boring. On one gloomy day, they go on a road trip - to the funeral of an old friend. But suddenly Maggie hears on the radio, as on the air, her former daughter -in -law announces that he was going to get married again. And the trip to the funeral turns into an expedition to save his son"s marriage. The touching, ironic, ridiculous and bitter chronicle of one day in the life of Maggie and Aira is a deep dive to the very essence of family relationships, a comedy crossed with a high drama. "Breath lessons" is a quiet masterpiece of one of the best modern writers.
Press about the book
Lev Tolstoy wrote that all happy families are happy the same. Anne Tyler confirms this observation, but with a much big sense of humor. Here is the author, who, fifty years after the release of her first book, demonstrates an excellent writing form. Her prose is polished so that it literally shines from book pages. Anne Tyler makes fiction with high literature. Houston Chronicle
What a wonderful, natural writer. Anne Tyler knows all the secrets of the human heart. Monica Ali
Books by Ann Tyler as a meeting with an expensive old friend. Rachel Joyce
glorious pleasure for those readers who value subtlety in books. Tyler, who received the Pulitzer Prize, is a master of delicate comedy, restrained drama. The Independent
Ann Tyler’s books are more exciting than tooth -free thrillers. I do not know another writer who, with such accuracy, would write about real life and whose works would be just as free from cliches of TV and Hollywood stamps. Anne Tyler’s novels are organic food for the soul. Mail on Sunday
I have been reading the books of Ann Tyler for twenty years, and she has never failed me. Tyler has a wonderful gift to expose the ordinary life of family life and turn into something extraordinary. She pulls out that unusual, tragic, funny, which is hidden under the usualness. Tyler does this again and again with hypnotic power. She is amazing. Vanessa Berridge, Express
Ann Tyler without sudden movements, without pathos and unnecessary affecting, makes the reader see behind the glossy facade something inexpressibly frightening and depressive. As in a well -known optical illusion, it allows you to see both the devil and the angel in the picture at the same time. And from the fact that every detail, every trifle in the world created by Tyler looks so lively, so warm, recognizable and universal, becomes truly terribly. Galina Yuzefovich
Roman Ann Tyler is gentle and charming, but at the same time ruthless and honest. Chicago Tribune
The main thing in the world and an eternally repeated phrase about the family belongs to Leo Tolstoy, but for some time now, the main literature in the world is American (and it, by the way, is the most fixed on Tolstoy) It is she who is trying to find these strange octopotable bonds, connecting grandmothers and grandchildren, sisters and brothers, parents and children. The main thing is parents and children. Anne Tyler is engaged in such a grope. But from more glorified contemporaries-releases like Appadayka and Franzen, she distinguishes her not even that softness, but hope. Anna Narinskaya
It was with this novel by Ann Tyler that stacked the place among the literary luminaries of America. Houston Post
"Cozy" and "Home" - epithets that very often use Tyler’s novels and sometimes give her guilty. But in this - the elegant transformation of the very seemingly boring everyday life into a work of art - and its main talent is. Poster
