  • "Ein Roman voll poetischer Kraft und Zärtlichkeit All diese Erinnerungen und Geschichten fügen sich in Paul Hardings unglaublich poetischem Roman zu dem Porträt eines außergewöhnlichen Menschen und seiner Zeit, zu einem sprachlichen Meisterwerk über Mensch und Natur, über Zeit und Erinnerung und die Hoffnung auf eine Ordnung aller Dinge."
  • "Ein Roman voll poetischer Kraft und Zärtlichkeit Der Uhrmacher George Washington Crosby liegt, umgeben von seiner Familie, in seinem Haus in dem Städtchen Enon im Sterben. Paul Hardings Roman begleitet ihn durch seine letzten Tage, reist aber auch zurück durch die Zeit und spürt den Erinnerungen nach, beschwört die Landschaft von Maine herauf, Georges ärmliche Kindheit, das Leben seines Vaters Howard, der noch als "Tinker", als Kesselflicker und fahrender Händler, mit dem Maultierkarren über Land zog. Paul Harding wurde 1967 in Wenham, Massachusetts, geboren und lebt mit seiner Frau und seinen beiden Söhnen in der Nähe von Boston. Er studierte Englische Literatur, war Schlagzeuger in einer Rockband und machte den Master in Creative Writing am Iowa Writers' Workshop. Paul Harding war Stipendiat am Fine Arts Work Center in Provincetown und Guggenheim Fellow und hat in Harvard und der University of Iowa unterrichtet. Für seinen ersten Roman 'Tinkers' wurde er 2010 u.a. mit dem Pulitzerpreis ausgezeichnet. Er schreibt an einer Fortsetzung."
  • "Large Print. 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 7 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. Tinkers is about the legacy of consciousness and the porousness of identity from one generation the next. At once heartbreaking and life affirming, it is an elegiac meditation on love, loss, and the fierce beauty of nature. This is the Pulitzer Prize winner for 2010."
