Fiction
Tinkers
George Washington Crosby lies dying and watches his house disintegrate around him while memories of his father, a traveling clock repairman, surface like objects from a flooded basement. Harding constructs his story like a piece of fine clockwork, each memory clicking into place. The prose moves between concrete details and transcendent observations about time and consciousness. This Pulitzer Prize winner finds readers who want literature that examines mortality without flinching, and who understand that some stories are less about plot than about the precise arrangement of moments.
