Nantucket Book Festival: Paul Harding with Ann Sullivan

Paul Harding is the author of a number of books, including the Pulitzer winning Tinkers. His latest book is the extraordinary This Other Eden, nominated for the Booker Prize, the National Book Award and the Dublin Literary Award. He is now the Director of the MFA in Creative Writing and Literature at Stony Brook University. It will come as no surprise to those who have read his work that Paul Harding is also a musician. His writing sings with gorgeous, lyrical prose. This Other Eden is inspired by the true story of Malaga Island, a small island off the coast of Maine, home to one of the first racially integrated communities in New England. Paul will be in conversation with Nantucket Book Foundation Vice President, Ann Sullivan.
