Paul Harding's This Other Eden was a finalist for the National Book Award, the Booker Prize, and the Inside Literary Prize. He won the Pulitzer Prize for Tinkers, his first novel, and is also the author of Enon. Currently, he is a distinguished professor of creative writing at Emerson College. He lives outside of Boston, Massachusetts.

"This Other Eden is ultimately a testament of love: love of kin, love of nature, love of art, love of self, love of home. Harding has written a novel out of poetry and sunlight, violent history and tender remembering. The humans he has created are, thankfully, not flattened into props and gimmicks, which sometimes happens when writers work across time and difference; instead they pulse with aliveness, dreamlike but tangible, so real it could make you weep."
