![]() ![]() "Redhead by the Side of the Road warrants popping open the champagne…Who else can make words sparkle with humor and tenderness in quite this way?…Hilarious and poignant. ![]() 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. These surprises, and the ways they throw Micah's meticulously organized life off-kilter, risk changing him forever. When Micah set out on his run the next morning, the office door was tightly closed and silent. 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. Redhead by the Side of the Road Anne Tyler BRINK, IT SEEMED, had that teenage knack for sleeping late. 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.
