The more I learn about King the more I wonder how he could have possible written ‘The Stand’.
I thought the exact same thing! Great minds......
Thanks for the ping, Psalm.
Kart, here is my analysis of The Stand. It’s a story about what it would be like to be a Christian in a world where there is no God. Can you point to one incident in the novel [haven’t read it; saw the movie] where God supernaturally intervenes in response to prayer/faith? To me, the story is what Christianity looks like to an atheist.
Am I wrong?
What? You didn't think it vain of him to put all the bad old "technicians" in Vegas, and the good little mush-heads in Boulder?
That little piece of rationalization, that "techs" are soft headed and easily lead because they'll embrace any worldview as long as it's "firm," has got to be the most asinine piece of conceit in all of American literature.
Besides, read some of his work about the "craft" of writing. His personal work habits come a little too close to "automatic writing" for my tastes.
