<b>Updike, John:</b> "After the eight inventive, polished novels of American life that the younger woman has produced since 1964, the only question remaining about her talent is: Will it ever, in its scintillating display of plenitude, make a dent as deep in our national self-awareness and literature as that left by the work of [Flannery] O'Connor, and Carson McCullers, and Eudora Welty? for Anne Tyler, in her gifts both of dreaming and of realizing, evokes comparison with these writers, and in her tone and subject matter seems deliberately to see association with the Southern ambience that, in less cosmopolitan times, they naturally and inevitably breathed...Her latest novel...compounds the faults of her quicksilver virtues, for it has as its heroine a fabricator of puppets, and as hero a man whose life is a succession of poses, struck in a thick beard and an array of funny hats and costumes. If we suspected we were being toyed with before, we know it now."
