Special edition of Paul Harding's Pulitzer Prize-winning debut
novel--featuring a new foreword by Marilynne Robinson and book club
extras inside In this deluxe tenth anniversary edition, Marilynne
Robinson introduces the beautiful novel Tinkers, which begins with
an old man who lies dying. As time collapses into memory, he
travels deep into his past, where he is reunited with his father
and relives the wonder and pain of his impoverished New England
youth. At once heartbreaking and life affirming, Tinkers is an
elegiac meditation on love, loss, and the fierce beauty of nature.
The story behind this New York Times bestselling debut novel--the
first independently published Pulitzer Prize winner since A
Confederacy of Dunces received the award nearly thirty years
before--is as extraordinary as the elegant prose within it.
Inspired by his family's history, Paul Harding began writing
Tinkers when his rock band broke up. Following numerous rejections
from large publishers, Harding was about to shelve the manuscript
when Bellevue Literary Press offered a contract. After being
accepted by BLP, but before it was even published, the novel
developed a following among independent booksellers from coast to
coast. Readers and critics soon fell in love, and it went on to
receive the Pulitzer Prize, prompting the New York Times to declare
the novel's remarkable success "the most dramatic literary
Cinderella story of recent memory." That story is still being
written as readers across the country continue to discover this
modern classic, which has now sold over half a million copies,
proving once again that great literature has a thriving and
passionate audience. Paul Harding is the author of two novels about
multiple generations of a New England family: Enon and the Pulitzer
Prize-winning Tinkers. He teaches at Stony Brook Southampton.
