Donald Harington Reading Order
1 series · 35 books
Donald Harington was an American novelist and visual artist who spent his long career exploring a single imaginary place: Stay More, a small town nestled in the Ozark Mountains that served as the setting or central touchstone for nearly all of his thirty-five books. Drawing inspiration from Drakes Creek, Arkansas, where he spent childhood summers, Harington crafted an interconnected body of work that allowed him to examine rural American life, family histories, and regional culture with remarkable depth and originality across four decades of writing.
