Description
An old man lies dying, surrounded by the detritus of his life. As he succumbs to cancer and kidney failure, the walls around him begin to crumble, showering him with memories and mementos from a lifetime. In this final moment, he is reunited with his father, a peddler who had been lost to him seven decades before. The old man's return to his impoverished childhood in the backwoods of Maine allows him to recapture a natural world that is both beautiful and menacing. A meditation on love, loss, and the human relationship with nature, Tinkers is a heartbreaking yet life-affirming exploration of what it means to be alive. This poignant novel is a powerful elegy for the passing of time and the fragility of human connection.
