Even his somewhat finicky girlfriend is growing tired of all his ways. Micah exasperates those around him, though he cannot understand their frustration with him.
Everything in his house and in his life has its place and each day is part of a strict cleaning schedule. He's a self-employed techie with a business aptly called 'Tech Hermit'. It's a book about a middle-aged man called Micah Mortimer. A novella, I imagine, though I don't know the exact word count. Redhead by the Side of the Road is a little book with a lot of quiet power. Well, I don't know if it's because I'm on my way to becoming a boring old person these days, but I have been wholly charmed by both of the two Tyler books I've read as an adult. I remember rolling my eyes, along with my classmates, because we were forced to read something so insufferably boring about everyday people living their lives and interacting with each other. I remember being in my early teens in school and our English teacher making us read Anne Tyler's Digging to America. The only place I went wrong, he writes, was expecting things to be perfect.
