If Anne Tyler's literary debut at age 22 garnered the sort of praise and attention usually reserved for more established authors, she has subsequently proven herself magnificently capable of delivering on the promise of her early work. This special edition of Tyler's first three novels demonstrates why The New York Times said she was "born knowing how...to write good fiction." "If Morning Ever Comes," published in 1964, tells with insight and wit the story of a bewildered young man's rediscovery of his past on a visit home. In "The Tin Can Tree," the random, tragic death of a young daughter focuses a tight-knit Southern family on the necessity of living. "A Slipping-Down Life" chronicles the romance of an offbeat and amusingly unlikely couple - a lonely, dowdy hight school girls and a stubborn rock musician.
