Tinkers (2009) is the first novel by American author Paul Harding. The novel was published by Bellevue Literary Press, a sister organization of the Bellevue Literary Review. Paul Harding won the Pulitzer Prize for writing Tinkers.

Tinkers follows the intertwined lives of three New England generations: son, father and grandfather.  It is also a meditation on time and memory, families and human frailty, and the struggle to find order in a chaotic universe. The novel tells the stories of George Washington Crosby, an elderly clock repairman, and of his father, Howard. On his deathbed, George remembers his father, who was a tinker selling household goods from a donkey-drawn cart and who struggled with epilepsy.
