"Tinkers" by Paul Harding ****


  • Audiobook
  • US author
  • Originally published in 2009
  • Review:  A fascinating fictional journey to death in the mind of a dying man.  The boundaries are fading between past and present, between the dying man and people from his past, and between life and death.  I enjoyed the author's use of language.  I found myself thinking that it wouldn't be a bad way to go.  Having spent time volunteering in a hospice, the connection between the utterances of a dying person and what may be occuring in their inner world seemed so plausible.  Very good book!
