title: THE FIREPROOF MOTEL
author: Arthur Barry
description: Arthur Barry spent four years at the University of Maine, leaving in his last semester after meditating on his lack of goals and finances. He's been living and working in the workaday world ever since. After some thirty years in the cold but beautiful Pine Tree State, except for one winter in Austin, Texas, and three winters planting trees all over the South, he rolled to Florida with the rest of the nuts, where he lives, works, and writes today.
