Donald Harington died over the weekend. Harington was an amazing novelist and a professor of art at the University of Arkansas. He was also a really cool guy, as many of his students at the U of A will attest to. If I had to recommend one of his books to those unfamiliar with his work, I’d urge you to start with The Architecture of the Arkansas Ozarks. You won’t be disappointed.
