wonderful quirky southern tale

Donald Harington, a protege of William Styron, introduces us to the whacky and wonderful Stay More, Ark. Harington is a masterful storyteller who is just started with this funny, poignant, sometimes bawdy tale of the crazy cast of misfits that live in Stay More. This is not for those who prefer a straight linear story, for Harington is both narrator and character in this story as well.

It began with that sound. I traveled to Stay More on this book for the first time in 1999. It was a wonderful visit and provided the road map for many more visits over the next year or so. Each visit was very different, but all were enjoyable and I always looked forward to going back. I am currently riding this book back to Stay More for another visit, and this trip is even more enjoyable than the first. I'm having fun here. It looks exactly as I remember it. This book will be endearing to any and all who will read it. I will encourage you to pick it up and take the trip. You will not regret it.

Harington's greatest

Since reading this book years ago in college, I have bought dozens of copies to give to friends, and teach it now myself . It is a wonderful, fun and easy to read story that also plays intricately with the standards of literature, storytelling and relationships.
