Tinkers offers a peek into the life of George Washington Crosby as he lies on his deathbed, surrounded by his family and his antique clocks. Blending the histories of a father and a son, this heartbreaking story is told in dense, gorgeous prose full of the details of a New England life. As it switches between his dreams and his moments of consciousness, it becomes almost hallucinatory in parts. But it’s the details that stick with you: the doctor’s house moved by oxen, the epileptic fits that strike like lightning, his father driving on past the house when he realizes his wife wants him committed, the descriptions of bird nests. --Angela M.
