Interpretation During Books Some Other Place. The Right Place. (Stay More #2)
long live donald harington (12/22/35 - 11/07/09) yeah, i just found out. that's two of my favorites in as many years. why can't i fall in love with robots?? donald harington was by far the most under-appreciated author i have ever championed. and his relative obscurity is both puzzling and offensive to me. what are people reading, if not this? and why? what's the point? harington was the most effortless storyteller i have ever read. he created an entire town and filled it up with characters that were interesting and astonishing and full of life and depth and reality and magic. his writing never had any vanity to it - it seemed he was writing for the sheer joy of creating these people and directing their lives and presenting them the way kids do when they play with dolls. i have never been bored reading a harington book. i have never glossed over a descriptive passage, i have never wished he would wrap it up. his writing is enchanting - it is pulsating with vitality and novelty and specialness- and everything builds and reflects and echoes and even when he would take risks to amplify the magic or the postmodern flourishes, i never felt jarred or impatient. and i'm coming across as cliched and that is the last thing a man like this deserves. but you understand, i am not mourning one man; i am mourning an entire town. i am mourning characters i have fallen in love with over the course of fifteen books - all of stay more has fallen into a hole in the ground, and because he once made me an honorary citizen, i'm in there as well. and i'm sitting here bawling and listening to warren zevon and janis ian and this leonard cohen song i haven't been able to listen to in ten years because it made me cry too hard, because i'm already sad, right?? and i'm just a nightmare mess over this. maybe i will actually review the book-part tomorrow. for now - this is just a sorrowful eulogy. on second thought - no - you can read the books yourselves - you don't need me to potentially ruin it. go - enjoy.Particularize Books As Some Other Place.

It is weird and romantic in equal measures,gripping, graphically sexual in the way only a recently liberated country's brightest minds could produce. (Remember, until 1966 it was illegal to print, distribute or own Lady Chatterly's Lover or Terry Southern's Candy in the USA.) The plot deals with reincarnation, finding yourself, suppressed memories, hidden family secrets and sex. The themes involve
Thank you Karen for the recommendation on Donald Harington.This is the second I have read, and loved it. Everything, with the exception of one section which is written in verse - and I hate poetry, but struggled through it, but it kept me from 5 stars - just makes you feel good all over.There are social issues to think about, relationships, goals, responsibilities, family, the environment and a host of other thoughts scattered throughout. There will be some who don't like 'all' the 'sex', but
This is one of the strangest, most beautiful and mysterious books I've ever read. The story weaves and dances around on itself and yet never fails to mesmerize. It is a book I know I will read again before writing a more thoughtful review.
I thought it was good, but not great. Satisfying conclusion, but a bit long-winded and self indulgent in the getting there.
I waded through this book for weeks, and it was gorgeous. Perhaps the most interesting novel I've ever read about relationships - expectations, disappointments, satisfaction and understanding . . two holes in the outhouse is the way to go.
