Welcome
December 6, 2007
Take a look at my most recent book, “The Everlasting Stream: A True Story of Rabbits, Guns, Friendship and Family,” which is published by Atlantic Monthly Press. It’s about what I, as a devoted city-slicker, learned from being roped into annual rabbit hunting trips with my Kentucky country father-in-law and his lifelong buddies. A documentary based on the book premiered in Fall 2006 on KET, Kentucky’s statewide public television station, and in November 2007 it was shown on PBS stations around the country.

KET’s brief Q and A with Harrington
Harrington interviewed about “the reported memoir” by Chip Scanlan for Poynter.org
Walt:
I have read your book ” The Everlasting Stream ” and found it to be a wonderful trip back to my boyhood experiences in NJ with my father and uncles hunting rabbit’s stories they would share with me of there experiences on the farm that they were raised on. I plan on handing this book to my son who I have hunted with over the years for him to enjoy as I am sure as much as I have. I only wish that times were the same today as they were back then.
THANK YOU SO MUCH
Dear Walt Harrington,
As a graduate student, I am trying to narrow my focus within the field of literary journalism to write a thesis. I’m wondering if you can help me. What niches within literary journalism studies do you feel need the most attention?

Dear Mr. Harrington,
I just finished reading The Everlasting Stream. I am in Boston for 6 weeks of medical treatment and hope to be home in time for the Opening Day of Trout Season in New York State. I live in Syracuse. To my two buddies, my brothers in fly rods, the Opening Day carries a ritualistic weight, in a positive sense , for us: meeting at diners, kibitzing, reminiscing, telling old stories and always waiting for the two other guys we fish with to arrive, who are always late. Thanks for the story. It buoyed me at the beginning of what is to be a difficult time.
