Monsters in het archief

Monsters in het archief biedt unieke inzichten in het schrijfproces van de verhalende grootmeester Stephen King, en de oorsprong van enkele van zijn meest memorabele personages en boeken, zoals Carrie, De shining, Pet Sematary en Salem’s Lot. Caroline Bicks bekleedt de Stephen E. King-leerstoel in Literatuur en is de eerste wetenschapper die volledige toegang heeft tot alle vroege versies van Kings meest iconische werken. Tegelijkertijd vertelt Bicks over haar ‘jaar vol angst’ met King, over een literatuurprofessor die haar jeugdangsten onder ogen komt en de openhartige, zachtaardige schrijver leert kennen die voor die angsten verantwoordelijk is. Monsters in het archief – geautoriseerd door Stephen King zelf – is anders dan alles wat ooit is gepubliceerd over de meester van de horror. Het is een literaire masterclass, een biografie, een memoir en een onderzoek naar onze diepste angsten. Het beschrijft wat Bicks ontdekte toen ze op zoek ging naar de manier waarop King enkele van zijn engste, meest iconische momenten creëerde. ‘Een feest voor Stephen King-fans.’ Paul Tremblay ‘Een masterclass in vakmanschap - en een kijkje achter de schermen.’ Stephen Graham Jones

Monsters in the Archives

A fascinating, first of its kind exploration of Stephen King and his most iconic early books, based on groundbreaking research and interviews with King - all conducted by the first scholar to be given extended access to his private archives.After Caroline Bicks was named the University of Maine's inaugural Stephen E. King Chair in Literature, she became the first scholar to be granted extended access by King to his private archives, a treasure trove of manuscripts that document the legendary writer's creative process - most of them never before studied or published. The year she spent exploring King's early drafts and hand-written revisions was guided by one question millions of King's enthralled and terrified readers (including her) have asked themselves: What makes Stephen King's writing stick in our heads and haunt us long after we've closed the book?Bicks focuses on five of his most iconic early works - The Shining, Carrie, Pet Sematary, 'Salem's Lot, and Night Shift--to reveal how he crafted his language, storylines, and characters to cast his enduring literary spells. While tracking King's margin notes and editorial changes, she discovered scenes and alternative endings that never made it to print, but that King is allowing her to publish now. The book also includes interviews Bicks had with King along the way that reveal new insights into his writing process and personal history.Part literary master class, part biography, part memoir and investigation into our deepest anxieties, Monsters in the Archives - authorized by Stephen King himself - is unlike anything ever published about the master of horror. It chronicles what Bicks found when she set out to unearth how King crafted some of his scariest, most iconic moments. But it's also a story about a grown-up English professor facing her childhood fears and getting to know the man whose monsters helped unleash them."Illuminating and original, Monsters in the Archives takes us deep into Stephen King's private papers to show us how he crafted some of his most iconic, haunting books and took possession of so many of our imaginations." -Amy Tan, author of The Joy Luck Club

I segreti di Stephen King. Manoscritti e versioni inedite dello scrittore che ha cambiato l'immaginario contemporaneo

Cosa rende la scrittura di Stephen King la più potente e immaginifica del nostro tempo, capace di restare dentro di noi e perseguitarci anche dopo l'ultima pagina? Caroline Bicks, professoressa della cattedra Stephen E. King in Letteratura presso l'Università del Maine, prova a rispondere a questa domanda che appassiona milioni di lettori in tutto il mondo. È la prima studiosa a cui King ha concesso un accesso esteso ai suoi archivi privati: un patrimonio straordinario di manoscritti, appunti e materiali che documentano il suo processo creativo, in gran parte mai studiati né pubblicati prima. Attraverso cinque opere iconiche - Shining, Carrie, Pet Sematary, Le notti di Salem e A volte ritornano - l'autrice entra nel laboratorio narrativo di King e mostra come nascono le sue storie: dalle prime intuizioni alle revisioni, fino alle scelte che trasformano un'idea in un classico. Analizzando note a margine e interventi editoriali visibili nelle immagini contenute nel libro, Bicks porta alla luce scene tagliate e finali alternativi rimasti finora inediti. Il volume è arricchito anche da interviste realizzate durante la ricerca, che offrono nuove prospettive sul suo metodo di scrittura e sulla sua storia personale. In parte masterclass, in parte biografia, in parte memoir e indagine sulle nostre paure più profonde, I segreti di Stephen King è un viaggio unico dentro la scrittura e dentro l'immaginazione di uno degli autori più letti al mondo.
