«El turista accidental» is the contemporary fiction novel by Anne Tyler, published by Orbis-Fabbri in hardcover (336 pages, in Spanish).
Macon Leary has made routine his refuge: he writes guides for those who travel out of obligation and miss home. When his wife leaves him after the death of their son, his orderly life begins to totter. The arrival of Muriel, a chatty dog trainer, pushes him to step outside himself and contemplate a new way of living.
Work originally published as The Accidental Tourist in 1985 and winner of the National Book Critics Circle Award. Translation by Gema Vives; edition from the Grandes pasiones de la literatura collection.
For readers of contemporary fiction and character-driven novels, and for those who want to discover the story behind Lawrence Kasdan's 1988 movie.
