Tinkers
Tinkers by Paul Harding: A quiet, poetic, and pensive book that reminded (and assured?) me that these qualities can still “win” even in a world that prizes brashness, boastfulness, and rigid opinion. (I mean, it really did win…it won the Pulitzer in 2010.) I love novels like this — to me, so reminiscent of Anne Enright, Donal Ryan, Marilynne Robinson, Leif Enger. They remind us that embracing mystery is one of the most meaningful things we can do.
