Tinkers and Freedom!
The Very Rev. Sam Candler
November 14, 2010
Sam Candler devotes the Dean’s Forum this week to a “books review.” He says, “I regard Tinkers, by Paul Harding, and Freedom, by Jonathan Franzen, as two of the best books I have read in the recent year, but they are wildly different. I will present my view of their spiritual dimensions, as well as their aesthetic ones. Our common questions will be ‘Where does life exist?’ and ‘what is freedom?’ ” podcast
