[1] Awards and recognition [ edit | edit source ] Barr has won the , the Cartoonists Northwest's "Toonie", and the Washington Press Association's Communicator of Excellence for Fiction. [2] Stinz. Stinz is a created by Donna Barr, chronicling the adventures of Steinheld Löwhard, or "Stinz"---a centaur who lives with other centaurs and "two-leggers" in an imaginary Alpine valley called the Gieselthal. The society of the Gieselthal is very reminiscent of pre-World War I Germany, and the people speak a German dialect invented by Barr herself. The Gieselthal centaurs call themselves halbpferd ("halfhorses") and look down on the nomadic "gypsy centaurs" who come through their valley at intervals. While relations between centaurs and "two-leggers" are usually cordial, there is normally some distance---centaurs see "two-leggers" as weak and fragile. Stinz Löwhard is, uniquely among his people, a veteran of the military, having attained the rank of Major, and war-hero status, in the last war fought in his world. He was greatly changed by his eight years' military service, and often feels rather alienated from his neighbors and family on account of it. Even so, he is a loving, faithful husband and tries to be the best father he knows how to be. He is quite wealthy, by the standards of his home, and holds the titles of "Räth" (council member) and Mayor at various times. The Stinz stories cover his life through his mischievous youth, up through his stormy courtship of his neighbor's daughter Brüna, his induction into the military, some of his war exploits, and his life after his return home. Barr has recently published the 1981 novel in which Stinz (in very different form) first appeared, under the title An Insupportable Light . Donna Barr Papers.

Author : Donna Barr Publisher : Release Date : 1999 Genre: Fiction Pages : 235 ISBN 10 : UOM:39015059178148. "Steinheld 'Stinz' Lowhard is a young centaur recently enlisted in an army that vaguely resembles Germany's during World War I. In addition to being the army's only centaur, Stinz is a country boy out of his element. Stinz's centaur people are portrayed as an ethnic minority largely confined to a single valley, so the differences between Stinz and his fellow recruits are just as much cultural as they are physiological. Perhaps the most affecting episode occurs when Stinz's platoon has to exterminate a group of horses that have come down with anthrax. The compassion and guarded hope makes it relevant." -- Kevin Dole, writer. Horsebrush and Other Tales. Author : Donna Barr Publisher : Release Date : 1990 Genre: Pages : 159 ISBN 10 : 1560600691.

He's outgrown the fears of his baby years, but he's about to discover that growing up brings with it fears and distresses of its own."--First panel. An Insupportable Light. Author : Donna Barr Publisher : CreateSpace Release Date : 2011-08-25 Genre: Fiction Pages : 406 ISBN 10 : 1438267940. An Insupportable Light is the original Stinz novel, featuring Donna Barr's half-horse hero back when she thought of him as having two legs instead of four. The story begins at the end of one war, with the hope of peace. Then one small incident after another, building and combining like pebbles tossed down a slope, become an avalanche of misunderstandings, broken hearts, fury and revenge. It's about how wars start: nobody wants them, nobody can see them coming and nobody can stop them."Donna Barr's writing could not possibly be like her drawing, because she draws faster than most people think. It comes close in other ways, though. In An Insupportable Light, Barr has found a way, as she does in her comics, to create a world taken from her own brain which we nonetheless are certain we must have read about somewhere in some history book or other.Possessed of an uncanny knowledge of the European middle ages (due to exhausting research or a past life?), she brings a village and a people - several kinds of people - to life and demonstrates, with a writing style that is part poetry, part irony, how the very worst things can happen, purely by happenstance, to the most well-meaning of souls. Is there a distant future echo in this book, of Homeland Security, or Patriotism acts, of Shock and Awe? I fear so."- Trina Robbins, Tender Murderers: Women Who Kill."Reading Donna Barr's work is like chasing tornadoes: it's exhilarating, terrifying, out-of-your-hands madness that you can't help finding wickedly delicious despite the fact that it can kill you."Madison Clell, Cuckoo"Any creation from Donna Barr is a cause for celebration. An Insupportable Light is a timely yet timeless fantasy about wars and rumors of war. While still a highly entertaining and exciting book, An Insupportable Light is also a philosophical and compassionate work that makes the reader think about the costs of battle. Barr's wonderfully written and beautifully illustrated tome is relevant as today's headlines, Bosom Enemies.
