Clock without Hands by Carson Mccullers

Clock without Hands by Carson Mccullers

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 a man toward his own livingness.

Carson McCullers (1917-1967), one of America's most enduring literary personalities, wrote with courage and compassion about life's misfits, their longing to belong, and their sometimes isolated and tortured existence in books like The Heart Is a Lonely Hunter, Reflections in a Golden Eye, and The Ballad of the Sad Café, as well as plays like The Member of the Bride and The Square Root of Beautiful.
