Paul Harding: No one called me. I found out on the website and within 30 seconds of finding out the Associated Press was on the phone. It was astonishing. It’s strange—I have not yet experienced my own reaction to this.
Former Expository Writing Preceptor Paul Harding won the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction for his debut novel “Tinkers” on Tuesday.
Before Harding left in 2008 to serve as a visiting assistant professor at the University of Iowa, Harding taught Expository Writing 20, “The Art of Short Fiction” for seven years.
Rosenzweig said that when students would ask Harding why they were asked to read a story by American novelist John Cheever, he would always tell them to go back to the text until they understood the motivation behind the assignment and could discover its meaning for themselves.
Harding is not the only Harvard affiliate to have won the Pulitzer Prize this year.
