具体描述
Harding's outstanding debut unfurls the history and final thoughts of a dying grandfather surrounded by his family in his New England home. George Washington Crosby repairs clocks for a living and on his deathbed revisits his turbulent childhood as the oldest son of an epileptic smalltime traveling salesman. The descriptions of the father's epilepsy and the cold halo of chemical electricity that encircled him immediately before he was struck by a full seizure are stunning, and the household's sadness permeates the narrative as George returns to more melancholy scenes. The real star is Harding's language, which dazzles whether he's describing the workings of clocks, sensory images of nature, the many engaging side characters who populate the book, or even a short passage on how to build a bird nest. This is an especially gorgeous example of novelistic craftsmanship. (Jan.)

评分读了20多页，太琐碎了，全是描述，各种事物的细节，已经预见到根本不是我的菜，而且最重要的是这小说根本就就不是玛丽琳•鲁滨逊《基列家书》的风格，差别很大，鲁滨逊的小说那才是富于诗意、哲思和优美，《基列家书》可是我最喜欢的书之一！ 另外单从中文翻译来说，读来也...

用户评价
George Washington Crosby临死246小时的回忆。意识流，focolization的切换让人应接不暇。生活的苦，家人的爱让人感到沉重而温暖。
评分我还是比较喜欢读男作家的作品。。。不会过度细腻
评分其实说不上有多喜欢，但这样静下心来，慢慢读这样细细碎碎的文字，品味着淡淡忧伤的感情，遇见那些隐秘而伟大的人，窥视他们脑中发散流动的思维，这应该就是阅读的意义，也是生命的意义，也是这本书的意义。
评分一直都飘着淡淡的忧伤，结局很好，但不是我的菜。
评分Paul Harding, Cold Water Flat乐队的前任鼓手，Tinkers是他的处女作，2010年获得普利策奖。父与子的故事，敏感却身患癫痫的父亲与同样敏感的儿子的故事，a sad story about how we cope the lost of lights in life and how we strive to carry on.
