Ilustration Conducive To Books Farther Along (Stay More #12)

He wants to get away from it all. Despite a satisfying career as chief curator of a museum devoted to the vanished American past, he finds he himself wants to vanish. So with the help of a book on the life and culture of a vanished tribe of Indians known as Bluffdwellers, he takes up residence in the wilderness of the Ozark mountians, with only a dog for company and only an atlatl - a primative spear thrower - to provide him with his supper. His few amusements are the playing of tunes on a hair-comb-and-tissue and writing what he intends to be an indictment of modern civilization in his journals. He makes the aquaintance of a young moonshiner who keeps him supplied abundantly with corn liquor. But after six years of this life he realizes that what he is trying to get away from is himself.

Weigh Up Epithetical Books Farther Along (Stay More #12)

The title of Donald Haringtons 2008 novel, taken from an old shape note hymn, Farther Along, is played out by a harmonica, hair-comb-and-tissue, french horn and dulcimer in quirky, cacophonous outsider liaisons and philosophical contexts.First, a solo: Bluff-dweller, or, comb-and-tissue player, leaves his Boston position as lead curator at a Restoration Foundation after his wife divorces him. Outside an abandoned Ozark town he, along with his dog and his liquor, makes a cave his home.A duet: The

What happened? I confess that I did not "get" this book at all. And I love Donald Harington; love him. I have never finished one of his books without wanting there to be a sequel or, somehow, MORE. This one, however, fell far short of that. It didn't make any sense. It's as if Harington took the parts of his writing that makes him quirky and funny and then fed those parts steroids. I could barely finish the book.

You don't know Donald Harington? This book is good but may not be the best place to start. I recommend With or The Choiring of the Trees. Harington has written approximately 14 books about the people in a fictitious town in the Kentucky Arkansas Ozarks called Staymore. He fills his stories with wonderful place descriptions and characters. What characters!Thanks to the comment from Mary who corrected my blunder. I have corrected my mistake to give the proper state name. This was an error on par

After the first section, I was thrilled and ready to dole out 5 stars. I was disappointed in the direction the story took from there so in the end I would give it 3 and a half stars.The Bluff-dweller resonated with me (view spoiler)[and IMO he didn't need saving. (hide spoiler)]Another minor gripe was unlike the other Stay More books, I thought the post-modern elements in Farther Along detracted from the story.Sub-par Donald Harington is still pretty darn good though and well worth reading.

There is quiet comfort in reading Mr Harington's book. Start with the first, then the second....The story line will vary, the characters sometimes show back up, the point of view will change.This one is a bit harder to define, other than perhaps it defines us in a way.Seeking, sometimes finding, hope, beliefs, people who might just likely have lived, and many pauses to think about what is going on.I like murder, mayhem, sex, none of that here - well other than Mr Harington's continuing mostly

My first thought on finishing Donald Harington's latest was "I need to read this again". Even when his books don't reach the heights of Some Other Place... or The Choiring of Trees, they still suck me in to the lives of Stay More. An enjoyable, if weird, read.

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
