What is Tinkers about?
SUMMARY: "This compact, adamantine début dips in and out of the consciousness of a New England patriarch named George Washington Crosby as he lies dying on a hospital bed in his living room, 'right where they put the dining room table, fitted with its two extra leaves for holiday dinners'...In Harding's skillful evocation, Crosby's life, seen from its final moments, becomes a mosaic of memories, 'showing him a different self every time he tried to make an assessment.'"- The New Yorker "Harding's interest is in the universalities: nature and time and the murky character of memory...The small, important recollections are rendered with an exactitude that is poetic...Harding's prose is lyrical and specific...Tinkers is a poignant exploration of where we may journey when the clock has barely a tick or two left and we really can't go anywhere at all."- The Boston Globe " Tinkers is truly remarkable... It confers on the reader the best privilege fiction can afford, the illusion of ghostly proximity to other human souls."- Marilynne Robinson , Pulitzer Prizewinning author of Home and Gilead "In astounding language sometimes seemingly struck by lightning, sometimes as tight and complicated
