![]() ![]() Redhead by the Side of the Road is an intimate look into the heart and mind of a man who sometimes finds those around him just out of reach – and a love story about the differences that make us all unique. And when a teenager shows up at Micah’s door claiming to be his son, Micah is confronted with another surprise he seems poorly equipped to handle. His woman friend Cassia (he refuses to call anyone in her late thirties a ‘girlfriend’) tells him she’s facing eviction because of a cat. But then the order of things starts to tilt. A flabby, fervid melodrama of a high-strung Southern family from Conroy (The Great Santini, The Lords of Discipline), whose penchant for overwriting once again. He is content with the steady balance of his life. He measures out his days running errands for work – his TECH HERMIT sign cheerily displayed on the roof of his car – maintaining an impeccable cleaning regime and going for runs (7:15, every morning). What a delightful book Tyler, as always, turns mundane and unremarkable people and details into a wonderfully quirky tale told with a wry humour. His numerous sisters and in-laws regard him oddly but very fondly, but he has his ways and means of navigating the world. Micah Mortimer isn’t the most polished person you’ll ever meet.
