Episode 61 of everyone's favorite twin-led book podcast is so big, it had to be split into two parts! But, when your subject is the all-time legend and prolific writer STEPHEN KING, well, then it makes sense. This double-barrelled episode has been a long time coming for your fraternal hosts, as we are of the generation that has literally grown up reading King.
But how do you take on so massive a subject as King's still-growing pile of work? Our approach is called "Then & Now" - we look at a work from very early in his career (The Long Walk), and then in Part 2, we review one of his most recent books (Fairy Tale). And along the way, we get in PLENTY of discussion about King's voluminous other work, what makes him special and unique, and why Stephen King may just be as "American" as Mom, movies, and apple pie. Enjoy the feast, "Constant Readers," and as always, thanks for being a part of this literary voyage with us...
