This Roundtable is now closed to comments.
I agree that I'd like to see a collection of King's Non Fiction (hence my book, 'Stephen King: The Non Fiction' which at least described and summarised each article). Many pieces are very valuabl...
I know I'm late to the party (story of my life), but I want to address two distinct aspects of this discussion: 1. In the discussion about literary versus genre, or whether there even should b...
As for the continuing impact of Stephen King, one only had to pick up last Sunday's issue of The New York Times magazine insert and find a cover story and huge article on "Stephen King's Family B...
Regarding the Dark Tower: I interviewed Ron Howard and Akiva Goldsman about their ideal plans for the adaptation in The Dark Tower Companion and they were amazingly forthcoming. I thought they mi...
Hey All~ I have read through almost all of your posts. I'm a little late to the game here, sorry. Bev, my question is directed at you but, if Doug, Michael or Rocky have any input, please don't h...
Bev said: We haven’t even mentioned King’s non-writing contemporary influences — his generosity and philanthropy and even his strong stand on political and social matters. Good point! Hope ...

Doug said: "But I can say this, speaking again from the long view … I believe the best is yet to come. That this is a story of a continued evolution of an artist and a man, husband and father a...
Thanks for hosting, Rocky. Well done.
We haven't even mentioned King's non-writing contemporary influences -- his generosity and philanthropy and even his strong stand on political and social matters.
Last comment: I've been involved in King's worlds for over 30 years and haven't regretted a moment of that time. I've been able to incorporate his stories and his storytelling into my profession,...
My short answer to Rocky -- to what I see as "the best and worst aspects of King’s writing" -- will come from the perspective of impact, versus a deeper critical perspective (which could well r...
Good point, Bev, as is the earlier one about being a grandfather and seeing kids again through that lens
Last comment from me: King Rules! lol ;)
I think King is going to write even more about the process of getting older and the frailties involved with aging. Mister Mercedes is about a retired cop, for example. His "productive" days are o...
Time is winding down - any last comments?
