Paul Harding came to wide attention when his debut novel Tinkers won the 2010 Pulitzer Prize for Fiction. The book, originally published by the small press Bellevue Literary Press after being rejected by major publishers, follows an old man named George Washington Crosby as he lies dying and his memories dissolve into those of his father, an epileptic traveling repairman in early twentieth-century New England.
Enon (2013) returns to the Crosby family, following George’s grandson Charlie through grief after the death of his daughter. This Other Eden (2023), Harding’s third novel, tells the story of a mixed-race community on a small Maine island at the turn of the twentieth century. All three books share an interest in New England landscapes, family inheritance, and the relationship between consciousness and the natural world.
