81. Anne Tyler: The Accidental Tourist An excerpt from the novel by Anne Tyler. http://www.mat.upm.es/~jcm/tyler.html

Anne Tyler: The Accidental Tourist They watched the news, dutifully, and then they went out to the sun porch and sat at their grandparents' card table. They played something called Vaccination a card game they'd invented as children, which had grown so convoluted over the years that no one else had the patience to learn it. In fact, more than one outsider had accused them of altering the rules to suit the circumstances. "Now, just a minute," Sarah had said, back when she'd still had hopes of figuring it out. "I thought you said aces were high." "They are." "So that means" "But not when they're drawn from the deck." "Aha! Then why was the one that Rose drew counted high?" "Well, she did draw it after a deuce, Sarah." "Aces drawn after a deuce are high?" "No, aces drawn after a number that's been drawn two times in a row just before that." Sarah had folded her fan of cards and laid them face down the last of the wives to give up. Macon was in quarantine and had to donate all his cards to Rose. Rose moved her chair over next to his and played off his points while he sat back, scratching the cat behind her ears. Opposite him, in the tiny dark windowpanes, he saw their reflections hollow-eyed and severely cheekboned, more interesting versions of themselves.

Choose another writer in this calendar: by name: A B C D ... Z by birthday from the calendar Credits and feedback TimeSearch for Books and Writers by Bamber Gascoigne Anne Tyler (1941-) American novelist and short-story writer, whose keen ear for dialogue and life-like characters have won critical acclaim. Several of Tyler's novels have been set in Baltimore and focus on middle-class families, their secrets, ambitions, dreams, and crises. Among Tyler's best-known books is The Accidental Tourist (1985), which was made into a successful film, and the Pulitzer Prize winner Breathing Lessons "I mean you're given all these lessons for the unimportant things - piano-playing, typing. You're given years of lessons in how to do in normal life. But how about parenthood? Or marriage, either, come to think of it. Before you can drive a car you need a state-approved course of instruction, but driving a car is nothing, nothing, compared to living day in and day out with a husband and rising up a new human being." (from Breathing Lessons Anne Tyler was born in Minneapolis, Minnesota, but grew up in North Carolina, as the daughter of Lloyd Parry Tyler, an industrial chemist, and Phyllis Mahon Tyler, a social worker. Before settling in Raleigh, North Carolina, the family lived among various Quaker communities in the rural south. These years formed background for Tyler's Southern literary flavor, which is seen in the settings of her fiction. Also the writer Eudora Welty, who has depicted the Mississippi of her childhood, has influenced Tyler.

86. Profile: Anne Rice January Magazine interview from 1998 http://www.januarymagazine.com/rice.html

See a more recent profile of Anne Rice When you meet her, you wonder if a theatrical presence is something she was born with or something that came into the world with the popularity of Lestat. Whatever the case, she embodies theater, from the mane of silver-streaked hair that cascades over her shoulders, to the eloquent gestures she makes with her hands when she talks, to the seemingly inborn ability to scope and stroke a venue: modulating her southern-touched voice so that it ambles into the corners of even a well-packed room. Even the clothes she chooses speak of persona: they fit into our expectations of Anne Rice the author. The literary diva of darkness knows how to play a room. She knows how to fill a room, as well. She is at a press conference promoting her latest book, Pandora: New Tales of the Vampires . The book is the first of the vampire novellas we can expect once yearly from now until, presumably, she doesn't feel like doing them anymore. It's a press conference all right, and the press is here en masse. However, the press corps hasn't been told that tickets to the event have been sold and her fans have come in droves: filling the theater to capacity and after her oration forming a patient but seemingly-never-ending line from the dais where Rice signs, through the theater and out into the foyer. While she signs she continues to play her crowd: and they love her. She finds an extra word for everyone, a few more for those who have gone to obvious trouble in honor of this occasion. Those who have come in vampirish costume for instance: and there are more than a couple of these. Or those who have brought special books for her to sign.

Wired For Books home Don Swaim Interviews Audio Interviews with Anne Rice Anne Rice reinvented vampire fiction, writing from the point of view of the immortal in her novels Interview with the Vampire and The Vampire Lestat . In her conversation with Don Swaim on Halloween Eve, 1985, she recalls her early life in the "splendid gloom" of New Orleans. She tells where her ideas come from and discusses the joys of writing on a computer, a concept taken for granted by many writers today. Rice also talks about her attempts to step away from books dealing with supernatural elements but to continue to write about outcasts. She does this in her novels, The Feast of All Saints and Cry to Heaven In The Feast of All Saints , Rice tells the story of mulattos, quadroons, and octoroons, the products of illicit relationships between blacks and whites in New Orleans before the Civil War. Cry to Heaven is about the castrati opera singers of 18th century Italy. These singers started as boys of six or seven who were castrated to preserve their soprano voices. Both novels deal with the inequality that was common in the lives of these two social groups. Listen to the Anne Rice interview with Don Swaim, October 30, 1985, RealAudio

O’Dare, who long ago dreamt of being a priest but instead came to embody danger and violence, seizes his chance. Now he is carried back through the ages to thirteenth-century England, to dark realms where accusations of ritual murder have been made against Jews, where children suddenly die or disappear . . . In this primitive setting, O’Dare begins his perilous quest for salvation, a journey of danger and flight, loyalty and betrayal, selflessness and love.

Z by birthday from the calendar Credits and feedback TimeSearch for Books and Writers by Bamber Gascoigne - pseudonym Acton Bell English writer, sister of and 'If you loved as I do,' she earnestly replied, 'you would not have so nearly lost me - these scruples of false delicacy and pride would never thus have troubled you - you would have seen that the greatest wordly distinctions and discrepancies of rank, birth, and fortune are as dust in the balance compared with the unity of accordant thoughts and feelings, and truly loving, sympathizing heart and souls.' (from The Tenant of Wildfell Hall Blackwood's Edinburgh Magazine, Fraser's Magazine , and The Edinburgh Review In the upstairs of the parsonage, a small house, was two bedrooms and a third room, scarcely bigger than a closet, in which the sisters played their games. The front door opened almost directly on to the churcyard. Inspired by a box of 12 wooden soldiers, the children wove tales and legends associated with remote Africa. With these tales the children broke the monotonous daily routines, like they later poured their joys and disappointment in their novels. Emily and Anne created their own Gondal saga, and Charlotte and Branwell recorded their stories in minute notebooks. In 1839 Anne worked for a short period as a governess to the Inghams at Blake Hall and later in same position to the Robinsons at Thorpe Green Hall near York from 1840 to 1845. Her brother Branwell joined her there as a tutor to Edmund, the only boy in the family, in 1843. He fell unfortunately in love for Mrs Robinson - or some other reason annoyed their employers - and Anne had to leave the work. Thorpe Green appeared later as Horton Lodge in her novel

94. Anne Sexton A very brief biographical note on Sexton, with a small selection of her poems. http://www.inch.com/~ari/as1.html

Anne Sexton - confessional, intimate, direct - her recorded voice as intriguing as William Burroughs' or Ezra Pound's - even fronted a jazz-rock band towards the end, reciting all her pretty ones to a beat. Born in Newton, Massachusetts, in 1928 and living all of her life in or near Boston, her first book of poems, To Bedlam and Part Way Back , was published in 1960; her last, Words for Dr. Y. , was published after her death, by her own hand, on October 4th, 1974. She won the Pulitzer Prize in poetry in 1967 for Live or Die "All my pretty ones? Did you say all? O hell-kite! All? What! all my pretty chickens and their dam At one fell swoop?... I cannot but remember such things were, That were most precious to me." - Macbeth Another quote at the opening of this second Sexton volume (1962), read: ...the books we need are the kind that act upon us like a misfortune, that make us suffer like the death of someone we love more than ourselves, that make us feel as though we were on the verge of suicide, or lost in a forest remote from all human habitation - a book should serve as the ax for the frozen sea within us. - from a letter of Franz Kafka to Oskar Pollak CLICK on any IMAGE or use arrows BELOW menu contact ari CV

95. A Writer Writes - Picking A Bone With Anne Lamott This site attempts picking a bone with Anne Lamott. http://writersaudio.com/Lamott.html

Writer's AudioShop Here is a radio commentary on one of our audio titles. I'd like to have your reaction to add to The Front Porch, so e-mail me at Elaine Davenport , Publisher, Writer's AudioShop Picking a Bone with Anne Lamott Tease: Hi. This is Jules Older, and I've got a bone to pick with one of my favorite writers. Stay tuned, and get in on the fight. Announcer: Jules Older is crazy about a certain writer. But the course of love does not always run smooth. Anne Lamott is my favorite writer who writes about writing. Bird by Bird by Anne Lamott is my favorite book about writing. Word by Word by Anne Lamott is my favorite audio tape about writing. So why aren't I happy with Anne Lamott? Because of something she said at the beginning of Tape One, Side One. She said: "Publication has nothing to offer you... It will work like a big plate of cocaine, where if you get the good news, it will take your mind off things for awhile. And then very quickly you will need more good news and better good news." Lamott argues, "The writing itself can provide the solace, the illumination, the direction, the self-awareness... and it can open your heart. And there's nothing more important than that." She dismisses publication as like "like being on the rat exercise wheel."
