Note September 21, 2025

I can't recall how Tinkers, by Paul Harding ended up in my reading list or why I skipped ahead of other books to read it but I'm glad I did. Possibly, it was the beautiful cover that hooked me.

What a hammer-drop of prose virtuosity. Completely arresting. Some books appeal because the subtle beauty of finely crafted sentences seeps in through your skin. The writing in this book is an injection into your carotid artery.
