Anyway, some people call this book "inspirational", or "motivating." I'm guessing that these are the same people who consider accidentally getting two extra cheesesticks for free in their Papa John's order "a miraculous affirmation of a higher power." I honestly think that there are more photographs of seagulls in this book than there are paragraphs. I'm talking about a book that bookstores actually shelve in the "literature" section. No, I'm not describing a children's picture book. ![]() Gradually, other seagulls join him and become awesome too.

If this was written within the last decade, Jonathan would be coping with his outcast status by wearing a black trench coat and rolling 20-sided dice for fun.

I say - every time I start a new book, I say, well, this is going to be different. KELLY: I've got to start by asking, are you stuck in a rut?

And it tracks one family, the Garretts, across decades and across generations. Tyler's new novel, "French Braid," is set, you guessed it, in Baltimore. But Tyler's gift is that each story, each character is distinct, even as she builds on themes from one book to the next. Now, if we were talking about any other writer, you would be excused for wondering if they might be stuck in a rut. And the majority of Anne's Tyler's 24 books are set in Baltimore.
