Celestial Navigation is a literary fiction book by author Anne Tyler.
Tyler is steadily raising a fictional body of major dimensions.
Jeremy Pauling, 38, has never left the house.
He lives on the top floor of a Baltimore home, where he creates collages of little people cut from wrapping paper.
His elderly mother had placed in the rooms below, until her death.
And then Jeremy was forced to adopt Mary Tell and her baby as a boarder. Mary had no idea how much courage it took for Jeremy to look her in the eye. For Jeremy, like one of his works on paper, fragile and prone to tearing – especially when he’s in love.
