Hearts in Atlantis Author Stephen King Is Well Known for His Works of Chills
Hearts in Atlantis Author Stephen King is well known for his works of chills and terror, of horror in tranquil New England spaces and unexplainable rages from machinery and madmen. There is another consistent subtheme in his writing: how children and adolescents discover their world, often the grim side of it. This side of his work is probably best remembered through the film Stand By Me, which was based on a King story. Now another version of King’s macabre outside world filtered through the understanding of a boy comes to the screen with Hearts in Atlantis. Though it sports contemporary bookends, Hearts in Atlantis (based on a set of King’s stories) is essentially one long flashback to a placid summer of 1960, in a small Connecticut town and the limited world of 11-year-old Bobby Garfield (Anton Yelchin). Living penuriously with his widowed, self-centered mother Liz (Hope Davis in a thankless role), Bobby’s narrow life (“nothing happens on this street,” he laments) revolves around his buddies Sully (Will Rothhaar) and Carol Gerber (the sweet Mika Boorem). Then an intriguing lodger, Ted Brautigan (Anthony Hopkins), comes to live upstairs in the Garfield’s boarding house. Though mom is suspicious of the inscrutable newcomer, Brautigan--whose eyes are failing--hires Bobby to read the newspaper to him. He is a learned man but also one with quirks (reluctance to be touched, staring spells), and he harbors a secret, recruiting Bobby as an ally to watch out for the low men, “fellows who are ruthless and dangerous to know” who might be looking for him.

Stephen King, Gothic Stereotypes, And
“Sometimes Being a Bitch is All a Woman Has”: Stephen King, Gothic Stereotypes, and the Representation of Women A thesis presented to the faculty of the College of Arts and Sciences of Ohio University In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree Master of Arts Kimberly S. Beal June 2012 © 2012 Kimberly S. Beal. All Rights Reserved. 2 This thesis titled “Sometimes Being a Bitch is All a Woman Has”: Stephen King, Gothic Stereotypes, and the Representation of Women by KIMBERLY S. BEAL has been approved for the Department of English and the College of Arts and Sciences by Joanne Lipson Freed Visiting Assistant Professor of English Howard Dewald Interim Dean, College of Arts and Sciences 3 ABSTRACT BEAL, KIMBERLY S., M.A., June 2012, English “Sometimes Being a Bitch is All a Woman Has”: Stephen King, Gothic Stereotypes, and the Representation of Women Director of Thesis: Joanne Lipson Freed Stephen King has been lauded for his creation of realistic and believable male and child characters. Many critics, however, question his ability to do the same with female characters, pointing out that King recycles the same female stereotypes over and over in his fiction. However, a closer look at his female characters reveals not only that his use of female stereotypes, which correspond to the classic Gothic female stereotypes, is part of a larger overall pattern of the use of Gothic elements, but also that there are five female characters, Annie Wilkes from Misery, Jessie Burlingame from Gerald’s Game, Dolores Claiborne from Dolores Claiborne, Rose Daniels from Rose Madder, and Lisey Landon from Lisey’s Story, who do not fit into these stereotypes.

Identifying First Editions (Updated 2018) the Table Below Lists the First Trade
Identifying first editions (updated 2018) Compiled by Bev Vincent with the assistance of materials made available by Rich DeMars, John Mastrocco, Steve Oelrich and Shaun Nauman. E-mail corrections or questions to [email protected] The table below lists the first trade edition identification criteria for each of Stephen King's books. The early Doubleday books all say "First Edition" explicitly on the copyright page (CP). There are other identifiers for these books as well. For books that contain strings of numbers to denote the printing, the important consideration is the presence of the numeral 1 in that string, regardless of the format of the numbers. Some possible variations of the printing numbers are: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 1 3 5 7 9 10 8 6 4 2 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 All three of these denote a first edition. The numeral 1 will be removed for a second printing. Black House is the exception. First edition copies state "First Edition" on the copyright page and the number sequence will be "2 4 6 8 9 7 5 3". Trim size is given because Book Club editions are often smaller than trade editions. Also, Book Club edition dust jackets (DJ) are occasionally found on first editions to replace lost or damaged jackets. Book Club edition dust jackets are easily identified because they do not have a price marked inside the front cover. Later printing trade edition dust jackets will often have a different price from what is found in the table.
