"That they could believe that there is any literary value there or any aesthetic accomplishment or signs of an inventive human intelligence is simply a testimony to their own idiocy." Not too full of yourself, are ya Harry? Ms. Bey nominated him this year. She first began to appreciate his work, she said, when she was at Sony Pictures, and it released a film based on his novella "Rita Hayworth and Shawshank Redemption." Well...someone making a judgement after actually >reading< it. Hmmm. Snobs.

"I don't think they should exclude any special genre, or they'd have to eliminate Edgar Allan Poe, wouldn't they?" Personally, I'd think The Stand well worth it.

If you read these stories and think King not capable of literary...then your definition is lacking. They are not dimestore horror trash...he manages to fit stories into 150 pages or less...3 of which have become movies..2 of them great ones (Shawshank and Stand by Me). Sure he writes scary stories. He can also just plain write stories...if you haven't read this collection...you must.

He worked for King's publisher and read the galleys. When they got to the foot chopping scene he remarked that the man would bleed to death. So they put in the blowtorch.
