Nonfiction. Harlan Hubbard’s PAYNE HOLLOW: LIFE ON THE FRINGE OF SOCIETY provides an account of a self-made alternative lifestyle in early 1950’s America. Anna and Harlan Hubbard, refusing to adopt the industrial positioning provided, built a simple home at Payne Hollow and documented their basic relationship of need to fulfillment within the carefully circumscribed wholeness of [their] honest, sensitive, extraordinary lives –Edward Lueders. PAYNE HOLLOW creates its own self-referential world written as a painter’s prose that fills its environment with a Thoreau-esque ecstasy…expressed with sober simplicity –The Louisville Courier-Journal.
