    Tinkers

      Paul Harding
$value['title']

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 seven 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. Heartbreaking and life affirming, TINKERS is an elegiac meditation on love, loss, and the fierce beauty of nature.

      Sam Savage

Quantum Voices is a satire of contemporary culture that has a laugh out loud moment on almost every page. The narrator, a teacher who "has been made redundant some months ago," encounters a woman in London "whose face is exceedingly beautiful and age . . . indistinguishable". Her name is Madame Sosostris and she invites the narrator for tea at her flat. The narrator then meets the others who live in the home of Madame Sosostris; each of them tells a story that intertwines with other stories from the narrator's life. All of these narratives run parallel to the story of Marcel, who becomes the thread that unites all the diverse elements of the book. Quantum Voices looks at the "deeper" questions in a humorous way; it takes readers on a fantastic journey that inspires them to laugh, to learn, and to think.
