Tinkers (novel)
''Tinkers'' (2009) is the first novel by American author Paul Harding. The novel tells the stories of George Washington Crosby, an elderly clock repairman, and of his father, Howard. On his deathbed, George remembers his father, who was a tinker selling household goods from a donkey-drawn cart and who struggled with epilepsy.〔(Tinkers ) at Bellevue Literary Press〕 The novel was published by Bellevue Literary Press, a sister organization of the Bellevue Literary Review.
''Tinkers'' won the 2010 Pulitzer Prize for Fiction, and other awards and honors.〔 The Pulitzer board called the novel "a powerful celebration of life in which a New England father and son, through suffering and joy, transcend their imprisoning lives and offer new ways of perceiving the world and mortality."〔(Pulitzer Prize Fiction 2010 ), Pulitzer.org〕
==Reviews==
''The Los Angeles Times'' praised "a writer () describes something so well—snow, oranges, dirt—that you can smell it or feel it or sense it in the room."〔(Review ) by Susan Salter Reynolds in ''The Los Angeles Times'', Dec 28, 2008.〕 ''The New Yorker'' enjoyed Harding's "skillful evocation () mosaic of memories".〔("Books Briefly Noted" ), ''The New Yorker'', Jan 12, 2009〕 ''The Boston Globe'' called the novel 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."〔(Review ) by Chris Bohjalian in ''The Boston Globe'', Feb 28, 2009〕 ''The New York Times'' failed to review the novel before the Pulitzer Prize announcement, noting that it was the first novel since ''A Confederacy of Dunces'' in 1981 to come from a small publisher and win that award.〔("The One That Got Away" ), ''The New York Times'' Papercuts blog, April 12, 2010〕
