Beschreibung
Double Toil and Trouble is the first new volume of fiction in more than a decade by beloved Arkansas writer Donald Harington (1935-2009). Featuring the long-lost suspense novel of the title and four previously unpublished or uncollected stories, this volume adds several new chapters to the saga of Stay More, the fictional Ozarks village that serves as the setting for more than a dozen other Harington novels.Edited by longtime Harington scholar Brian Walter, Double Toil and Trouble also includes an appendix featuring the author s spirited correspondence with the editor who originally inspired the title novel, providing an insider s look at the American literary scene and Harington s own early assessment of his work. Spanning several decades of the author s career, this volume gives readers a Harington who is at once familiar and fresh as he experiments with new formal possibilities, only to once again endear the vagaries of love, life, and folk language to us.
