Paul Harding on THIS OTHER EDEN
\u201cI love finishing reading a book and thinking, I feel privileged to have read that, I feel dignified. I feel like that book sort of thought of me as sacred\u2026 I want to write the kind of books that I most love to read.\u201d\xa0
From Paul Harding, author of Pulitzer Prize-winning novel, Tinkers, comes This Other Eden \u2014 an intricate novel inspired by the fascinating true story of Malaga, an island in Maine that held one of the first integrated communities after the Civil War. Harding joins us to talk about his vibrant cast of characters, studying with Marilynne Robinson, the authors who have influenced him and more with Poured Over\u2019s host, Miwa Messer. And we end this episode with TBR Topoff book recommendations from Marc and Jamie.
