When will the inevitable allegations emerge?
When will the inevitable allegations emerge?
They won't. He's creepy, but a lot of his sexually themed writing is clearly inspired by his own sexual repression. Dude was horny all the time and has spent his life with the same woman since college.
Now. Will his material be attacked en masse as 'problematic' once the new wave of reacquired movie rights bring people's attention to his old material? Maybe. It would be hilarious if so, given how hardcore liberal he is. King's books are filled to the brim with unabashed racism and homosexual bashing. And it's difficult to defend as being part of the characters when his characters are ridiculous caricatures at best.
He's an uppity asshole, but he isn't diddling his fans. That was more David Foster Wallace's thing.
Being liberal and progressive didn't stop Marion Zimmer Bradley from diddling her own daughter for years.
>"The first time she molested me, I was three. The last time, I was 12, and able to walk away … She was cruel and violent, as well as completely out of her mind sexually. I am not her only victim, nor were her only victims girls."
who did wallace diddle?
probably never. i bet he's jacked it to his own writing though
What did King mean by this?
>Jessie changed out of her shorts and Camp Ossippee tee-shirt and into her new sundress, the one which was pretty but too tight. She put on a dab of Maddy's My Sin perfume, a little of her mother's Yodora deodorant, and a fresh application of Peppermint lipgloss. And although she had never been one to linger before the mirror, fussing with herself (that was her mother's term), she took time to put her hair up that day because her father had once complimented her on that particular style.
>When she had put the last pin into place, she reached for the bathroom light-switch, then paused. The girl looking back at her from the mirror didn't seem like a girl at all, but a teenager. It wasn't the way the sundress brought attention to her newly arrived chest, and it wasn't the lipstick, and it wasn't her hair, held up in a clumsy but oddly fetching chignon; it was all of these things together, a sum greater than its parts because of... what? She didn't know. Something in the way the upsweep of her hair accented the shape of her cheekbones, perhaps. Or the bare curve of her neck, accentuating as it did her soft budding chest and tight lithe tomboys body. Or maybe it was just the look in her eyes-some sparkle that either had been hidden before today or had never been there at all.
>Whatever it was, it made her linger a moment longer, looking at her reflection, and suddenly she heard her mother saying "I swear to God, sometimes you behave as if she were your girlfriend instead of your daughter!"
>She bit her pink lower lip, brow Burrowing a little, remembering the night before-the shiver that had gone through her at her father's touch, the feel of his hands on her breasts and thighs, his breath on the back of her neck. She could feel that shiver trying to happen again, and she refused to let it. There was no sense shivering over stupid stuff you couldn't understand. Or even thinking about it.
Supposedly a metric fuckton of his adoring college-aged female fans. No confirmations, but given his whiny obsession with being a 'good person' all the time, and his own admission to treating ex girlfriends like shit, I wouldn't be surprised. He DID take a giant shit in Franzen's backpack in college... And is the transparent inspiration for Richard in 'Freedom,' who ends up fucking the protagonist's wife and a legion of young girls. Everybody close to DFW highly suggested that he was a hypocritical dickhead. Which should be obvious to anybody who can see between the lines and who's read his writing. But seeing as his suicide elevated him to the status of martyr, all shit-talking regarding Wallace is on indefinite hiatus. I loved Infinite Jest. I found Wallace himself to be a pontificating faggot.
It's literally a story about a woman coming to terms with her sexual abuse
Stephen "When the Lights Go Out You Won't Have Time to Shout" King is untouchable.
What story tho
>I found Wallace himself to be a pontificating faggot.
Except I found that to be true in IJ, too.
Yes, but being that it's part of the makeup of the novel, I can gel with a writer's natural voice melding with his narrative, fictional voice. Outside of IJ, I don't think his style befit a lot of the shit he was trying to do. Unfinished though it was, Pale King was still dogshit. His short stories trying for a more narrative, objective distance were awful.
But IJ was his bare, naked self effortlessly turning into the narrative voices of Hal and friends. It worked in that context. imo.
>more and more king adaptations are happening, IT made a shitton of money
>When will the inevitable allegations emerge?
wow you clearly are a retard and don't how business work.
You post like a tryhard psued. You're exactly the sort of shithead who likes Infinite Jest.
All of this made up
I clearly stated why Wallace's faggy self worked in the context of developing into Hal's faggy self, who was just a young Wallace turned fictional. Big wurds make bwain huwt, faggot? Plenty of people liked IJ. That's why it's a famous fucking novel, retard. Doesn't mean you have to buy into the Wallace cult, too.
Not him, you're full of shit, stop posting
I guess the leagues of literary analysis and interviews that I'm just providing synopsis for are full of shit, too. Start with Franzen's interview where he's asked about Wallace's suicide and tiptoes around saying anything definite but gets shit on for it, anyway. But you're right. Writers don't have personal histories that inspire their writing which are then later picked up on and discussed in reviews and articles after said certain writings achieve notoriety. Hemingway never wrote about himself or others. Melville and Hawthorne were never friends. Bukowski was only pretending. There are going to be holes in anything, but I'm only repeating what's been theorized in other places elsewhere. Which is why I started the whole thing off when responding to that other user with the word 'supposedly.' Suck my dick, you prissy faggot.

Most of you fags have no idea how professional writing even works. He submits a "final" draft to his team of editors then the re-write half the fucking thing. I wouldn't doubt if some of this crap was added by one of the (((editors)) and King had to accept it if he wanted the $.
...
>nor were her victims only girls
"victims"
I doubt they have actually even read Wallace's books. DFW's sleeping around and general dickish behavior is well known.
