I do not know the author at all. I am not abreast really of too much current writing. Book tastes always running to the past. The curse of being a Lit major.

Portland is full of lit majors, who put fun books in their free boxes....the cool thing about tinkers book is it attempts to describe the visceral and hallucinatory feelings (but not scary really) of a man in his final days. There is a certain kind of respect for humanity in it, the authors first book.
