Stephen King’s 61st novel is out!
And Colbert did a wee interview with him.
Obviously the man is much better at writing than talking, but he’s got a quiet eloquence about him which is lovely.
King: I try to keep politics out of my stories.
Colbert: Did you block trump on twitter?
King: Yes, there’s only so much rubbish a man can take.
All hail the King.
Who, in case you are wondering, I seriously do consider the best writer of our times.

Isn't diversity great? Even the mentally handicapped can participate.
@mott-the-hoople saidConsidering all the Repubtards here who are madly in love with President Dump , you have little to say of note .

@shavixmir saidNot the best writer, in my opinion, but an excellent storyteller.

@ghost-of-a-duke saidIn my opinion, he's a bit wordy.

Try reading "Misery" sometime. Granted, when writing suspense, the build-up is the thing, but King can build-up for 40 pages.
The build-up in "It" was almost as bad.

@suzianne said"It" was a masterpiece where virtually every word mattered.

Could've done without the teenage gangbang, but everything else needed to be there.
Last time I finished "It" I came awfully close to starting over immediately.
To be fair, some of King's stuff is awful. Dreamcatcher is a joke, Dr. Sleep was playing it way too safe and The Stand has an ending so utterly terrible it made me dislike the entire novel.
