Tinkers

Author: Paul Harding

In this haunting debut, Paul Harding weaves a tapestry of memory and time, exploring the lives of three generations of New England clock repairmen. As George Washington Crosby lies dying, his mind wanders through a landscape of recollections, blurring the lines between past and present. Harding’s lyrical prose captures the essence of human experience, from the mundane to the profound, inviting readers to ponder the fleeting nature of existence. A meditation on family, legacy, and the intricate mechanisms that govern our lives, “Tinkers” is a small masterpiece that lingers long after the final page.

Light is time thinking about itself.
