Clock Without Hands: A Classic Historical Reckoning with Race, Justice, and Change in the American South

Synopsis

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. ".
