{"product_id":"clock-without-hands-9780395929735","title":"Clock Without Hands","description":"\u003cp\u003eSet 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.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eMcCullers, Carson:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - Carson McCullers (1917-1967) was the author of numerous works of fiction and nonfiction, including \u003ci\u003eThe Heart is a Lonely Hunter\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Member of the Wedding\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eReflections in a Golden Eye\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eClock Without Hands\u003c\/i\u003e.
