Clock without hands (1961)

Psychological Fiction

Carson McCullers

Year: 1961
Authors: Carson McCullers
Print type: BOOK

Description:

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."
