Celestial Navigation
Ballantine Books. 08/01/1996. 273 pgs. The hero of this fine novel, a deeply eccentric and agorophobic artist named Jeremy Pauling, is based loosely on Tyler herself, who confesses to a touch of agorophobia. The novel tells the story of Jeremy's relationship with Mary Tell, the woman he takes in as a boarder whose love and protectiveness make him, paradoxically, worse--and change his art forever. Told from six different points of view, CELESTIAL NAVIGATION is full of--in Gail Godwin's words--the "oddballs, visionaries, lonely souls" who invariably populate Tyler's fiction. It is also about the eternal struggle between life and art, the artist's difficulty in reconciling the two, and the frustrations such a struggle imposes on the lives of those who care about him.
