Answers
Answer:
The Accidental Tourist opens with Macon and Sarah Leary driving back home to Baltimore in the rain after a vacation at the beach. When Macon refuses to stop the car, Sarah suddenly announces that she wants a divorce. She accuses Macon of being incapable of comforting her, especially after the tragic murder of their 12-year-old son, Ethan. Macon is surprised. The book then flashes forward to after the couple has separated. Macon tries to adjust to the change, finding it strange to live in their family house all alone. In a somewhat compulsive way, Macon comes up with various "systems" of organization in order to manage the household chores. These habits are highly strange, such as washing the clothes in the bathtub while he showers. Macon, overcome by a grief he won't directly acknowledge, also struggles to keep a normal sleeping and eating routine.
Meanwhile, Macon tries to maintain a regular work schedule. His job is writing travel guides aimed at businessmen who are reluctant to leave their hometown. It is an ironic role for Macon, as he hates traveling and leaving his comfort zone in any way. Macon soon has to leave for a trip to England. Right before his departure, Sarah calls him to ask if she can come by and get her rug. They reveal to each other that they have both been struggling since the separation. On the way to the airport, Macon drops off his dog, Edward, at a kennel, where he strikes up a conversation with a young receptionist named Muriel Pritchett. In England, Macon has difficulty getting his work assignments done and itches to go home. When he returns to Baltimore, he picks up Edward and Muriel Pritchett tells him the dog was well-behaved, subtly flirting with Macon and giving him her business card. Macon can only think about Sarah, and he feels her absence as he walks back into his house with Edward.
