Clock Without Hands

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.
