DONALD HARINGTON

'Donald Harington' (1935- ) is an American author. All but the first of his novels (''The Cherry Pit'', 1965) 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. 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.
Harington still lives in Fayetteville.
Harington lost his hearing at age 12.
