While on his death-bed, George Washington Crosby recalls the lives of three unusual tinkers: himself, his father, and his grandfather. George's father, an impoverished epileptic peddler has a very unusual relationship with nature. Sadly, there's not much of a story in this small pulitizer prize winner. Instead, Tinkers is a poetic arrangement of vignettes about nature, time, memory, and the transformative process of death.
