| Re: 50 years after he's dead? Well you'd be surprised Storm I mean a lot of his books could be being used in horror classes in college as I'm sure they probably are in places like America anyway.(I wouldn't know, I'm from the as yet to develop it's full potential Ireland;whatever you hear about the place and no matter how much you'd like to go here,it's really a pile of poo.)But just because his register isn't exactly a cup of tea with a chocolate crumpet it doesn't mean tht he hasn't got anything to say. A lot of his books are just pure story where he likes to wade away from the idea of loading a book with huge amounts of symbolism but still that doesn't mean that the books don't hold some value, and it doesn't mean that he hasn't got anything to say.I mean look at Lisey's Story(if you've read it;if you haven't you'll probably still understand), a marriage counsellor could read this and have some constructive idea's for a struggling marriage it's that rich.I mean, a large percentage of his books are almost always dealing with American culture in some shape or form and because that's the culture that is these days the most controversial, then I can't really see how he couldn't be being read after he's gone. You couldn't just erase a guy like that from history in the space of a few years. It'd be just impossible. |
