The next novel by the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Tinkers, in which a father's grief over the loss of his daughter threatens to derail his life. Powerful, brilliantly written, and deeply moving Paul Harding has, in Enon, written a worthy successor to Tinkers, a debut which John Freeman on NPR called "a masterpiece." Drawn always to the rich landscape of his character's inner lives, here, through the first person narrative of Charlie Crosby (grandson to George Crosby of Tinkers), Harding creates a devastating portrait of a father trying desperately to come to terms with family loss.]]> Sat, 26 Oct 2013 21:13:26 +0300 Tinkers https://art.library.land/paul-harding/53589-tinkers.html https://art.library.land/paul-harding/53589-tinkers.html Tinkers
An old man lies dying. Confined to bed in his living room, he sees the walls around him begin to collapse, the windows come loose from their sashes, and the ceiling plaster fall off in great chunks, showering him with a lifetime of debris: newspaper clippings, old photographs, wool jackets, rusty tools, and the mangled brass works of antique clocks. Soon, the clouds from the sky above plummet down on top of him, followed by the stars, till the black night covers him like a shroud. He is hallucinating, in death throes from cancer and kidney failure. A methodical repairer of clocks, he is now finally released from the usual constraints of time and memory to rejoin his father, an epileptic, itinerant peddler, whom he had lost seven decades before. In his return to the wonder and pain of his impoverished childhood in the backwoods of Maine, he recovers a natural world that is at once indifferent to man and inseparable from him, menacing and awe inspiring. Heartbreaking and life affirming, TINKERS is an elegiac meditation on love, loss, and the fierce beauty of nature.]]> Sun, 26 Oct 2008 21:13:27 +0200 Field of Blood smoba-9 https://art.library.land/paul-harding/181081-field_of_blood_smoba-9.html https://art.library.land/paul-harding/181081-field_of_blood_smoba-9.html Field of Blood smoba-9
Three savage murders have occured in the parish, two at the hands of an assassin and one victims identity and death still a mystery. Could the deaths be related to one of Brother Athelstan's parishioners, accused of multiple murders in "the field of blood"?]]> Sat, 15 Nov 2003 05:47:27 +0200
