3772. Clock Without Hands, by Carson McCullers (read 23 July 2003) This was published in 1961 and is I believe McCullers' last work. Because I was so struck by her Reflections in a Golden Eye (read 4 June 2003), I decided to read it. It received little critical acclaim, but it is filled with weird typical McCullers characters and the account of their strange thoughts and deeds are of interest. But the book never made me too excited. McCullers died at 50 and led an eccentric life and is an interesting character in her real life. ( )

Book description

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0395929733, Paperback)

Set in Georgia on the eve of court-ordered integration, Clock Without Hands contains McCullers's most poignant statement on race, class, and justice. A small-town druggist dying of leukemia calls himself and his community to account in this tale of change and changelessness, of death and the death-in-life that is hate. It is a tale, as McCullers herself wrote, of "response and responsibility--of man toward his own livingness."
