Overview: Donald Douglas Harington was an American author. All but the first of his novels either take place in or have an important connection to "Stay More," a fictional Ozark Mountains town based somewhat on Drakes Creek, Arkansas, where Harington spent summers as a child.
Harington was born and raised in Little Rock, Arkansas. He lost nearly all of his hearing at age 12 due to meningitis. This did not prevent him from picking up and remembering the vocabulary and modes of expression among the Ozark denizens, nor in conducting his teaching career as an adult.
Though he intended to be a novelist from a very early age, his course of study and his teaching career were in art and art history. He taught art history in New York, New England, and South Dakota before returning to the University of Arkansas in Fayetteville, his alma mater, where he taught for 22 years before his retirement on 1 May 2008.
Harington is acclaimed as one of America’s greatest writers of fiction, if not one of its best known. Entertainment Weekly called him "America’s greatest unknown writer." The novelist and critic Fred Chappell said of him "Donald Harington isn’t an unknown writer. He’s an undiscovered continent." Novelist James Sallis, writing in the Boston Globe: "Harington’s books are of a piece — the quirkiest, most original body of work in contemporary U.S. letters."
Genre: American Literature
The Architecture of the Arkansas Ozarks (Stay More #3)
Jacob and Noah Ingledew trudge 600 miles from their native Tennessee to found Stay More — a small town nestled in a narrow valley that winds among the Arkansas Ozarks and into the reader’s imagination. The Ingledew saga — which follows six generations of Stay Morons through 140 years of abundant living and prodigal loving — is the heart of Donald Harington’s jubilant, picaresque novel The Architecture of the Arkansas Ozarks.
The Choiring of the Trees (Stay More #5):
A young mountaineer is sentenced to the electric chair in 1914 Arkansas because of the testimony of a thirteen-year-old-girl who was raped in the backwoods of the Ozarks. Nail Chism appears doomed to death-until his innocence is championed by the staff artist of the state’s leading newspaper.
Cockroaches of Staymore (Stay More #4):
Readers of Harington’s previous installments of the Stay More saga will recognize the old familiar stomping ground. But the stompers this time are insectile.
With (Stay More #10):
The newest novel of the master of Stay More, Harington’s mythical village in the Arkansas Ozarks. A peaceable kingdom is created in isolation from a most bizarre abduction gone wrong.
Ekaterina (Stay More #6):
"If, as a main character in this playfully intelligent novel about writing novels professes, "The art of fiction lies in wandering beyond the conventional into the original and outrageous." Harington’s novel succeeds admirably. This despite the fact the book could aptly be subtitled "variation on a theme (and the life) of Nabokov." Both allusionary and illusionary, it centers around a Georgian (as in the former USSR) princess/mycologist/dissident who arrives in the United States with a rudimentary knowledge of English, a passion for pubescent boys, and a deep-seated fear that her Russian psychiatrist tormentor, Bolshakov, is still on her trail. With the help of a ghost and an alcoholic art historian-cum-novelist, she discovers her own talent for fiction and makes enough money to take over a suite of rooms in an old mountain resort hotel (a la Nabokov). Eventually, however, both Bolshakov and her taste for 12-year-olds catch up with her and her world comes crashing down. Or does it? For, after all, ‘Ekaterina you were, and you were not at all.’" Library Journal.
Enduring (Stay More #13):
Forty years ago Donald Harington created the little town of Stay More, hidden away in the hills of the Ozarks. He populated it with generations of families that had escaped the Appalachians in search of more room, greener pastures, freedom from convention, sweeter air and water, or, simply, a world where time and history do not matter. In Enduring, Harington continues the themes of the Stay More series and reveals, for the first time, the mysteries of the life of Latha Bourne, the heroine and demigoddess of Lightning Bug, The Choiring of the Trees, and other Harington classics. Latha is set apart from her fellow Stay Morons, as Harington affectionately calls them, by her beauty, wit, mystery, and intense, unfullfilled sexuality.
