Harry Hunters (novel)

Welsh television presenter Rupert Smythe-Pryce penned Harry Hunters about his 2000 quest to Bookbright, Tennessee—the hometown of recently-vanished author Harry Hardiner—with various pseudonymic celebrities. The non-fiction novel collates experiences in the town into headings inspired by each entry in the Rosewire series and culminates in a tenth chapter simply titled, "Dead." To the unwary reader, this does not mean that Smythe-Pryce believes Harry Hardiner has died. The statement is about the town, not its son.

The mystique of the search and the passion with which it was conducted led to "Harry Hunting" becoming a brief national sensation, although its popularity has waned in recent years.

To date, only Max Larry and Youngblood have positively been identified with their real-world counterparts (Maxence Lawrence and Joseph Gordon-Levitt, respectively). The rest of the original Harry Hunters (besides, of course, Rupert Smythe-Pryce) remain anonymous.
