Tinkers

I've been reading a lot about Tinkers lately on the Internets, as it kind of came out of nowhere to win the Pulitzer Prize. While it's great that a small-press novel can both fly under the radar and be critically acclaimed, I wasn't all that impressed by the novel. It's wonderfully written, but not all that interesting or memorable. For a novel that uses death to reflect on life, I'd stick with Jim Crace's magnificent Being Dead
