He’s back! How I’ve missed him. I know it’s only my humble opinion but some of the best fiction writing in the English language has come from Mr. King’s well used typewriter. I’ve said this before, but were it not for his choice of genre Mr. King’s name would be widely praised along those of Hemingway, Faulkner and Twain as one of America’s true masters.
In Duma Key Stephen gets his groove back? (Not that he really ever lost it. Poor Mr. King is a victim of his own genius and success.) I haven’t really been crazy about anything Mr. King has written since The Green Mile. The accident that almost ended his life affected his writing a great deal more than he cares to admit.
It is ironic that a novel written after his so called retirement is as much the page turner as some of his more acclaimed work. If you’re a lapsed King fan, I suggest you renew your subscription.
