Born and raised in Ware, Massachusetts, Harris Tanner has quietly become one of the most revered crime novelists of the 21st century. His first novel, A Wince Before Bedtime, was an electrifying international bestseller, introducing the world to Runce Pepsi, Tanner’s hero detective. Tanner’s success was firmly cemented with his following effort, Trash Mouth, and the now classic Pissterine, which won the Booker Prize of 2002. Never one to let up, Tanner has written more than twelve riveting Runce Pepsi novels since, including Mop-Up, I'll Give You a Concussion, Sump Hole, and Shit For Brains. In 2003, he was awarded the prestigious National Book Award for his powerful memoir of childhood, Up Yours. He divides his time between Paris and New York.
