Hi all,I'm so glad that someone finally got a site together for DH! THANK YOU!!! There's some truly wonderful material here that I hadn't seen anywhere else (and believe me, I've searched... and searched...!).My first encounter with Donald Harington's writing was about 14 years ago when I found"Some Other Place. The Right Place." I was living in Mississippi at the time andnot enjoyingbeing there, so the title gave me adose ofmuch-needed optimism! I read and re-read it many times (while moving around from state to state--in search of my own "right place," I suppose) before taking a peek at "Ekaterina." That did it; I was hooked. I found the rest of the books here and there online, and bugged the nice folks at our then-newly-openedBarnes & Noble to ordertherestfor me. (They'd never heard of him and asked me, "What's his writing like?" to which I responded, "Like nothing you've ever read. Imagine you're having a dream where Nabokov and Faulkner are trading stories with your favorite professor...." By the time I left that morning, three of the staffers were ordering their own copies of "13 Albatrosses.")Looking forward to reading "With"--enjoyed the wonderful review posted on the board here!
