Stephen King: A Biography, Hardcover/Albert Rolls

Descriere

Now known worldwide for his horror creations in best-selling books and popular film adaptations, Stephen King spent years in obscurity trying to find his voice and his audience. For much of his career he chose to remain in the small-town Maine of his youth, far from glittering publishing and film centers, yet few American writers can now equal his hold on audiences worldwide. This biography traces King's evolution from would-be pulp magazine writer to master of his craft, whose work both epitomizes and transcends the horror genre. About the Author: Albert Rolls teaches at Touro College in New York City and has also taught at John Jay College, La Guardia Community College, and other institutions in the City University of New York system. He coedited H. W. Wilson's World Authors 2000-2005 and Current Biography International Yearbook, 2006 and is assistant editor of Wilson's Current Biography series.
