Lisey`s Story
Description:
This novel by bestselling author Stephen King explores the relationship between the writer and his work, through the voice of the widow Lisey Landon. Lisey`s late husband, Scott, was an award-winning novelist, and when he died, hordes of authors and critics jumped to get their hands on his unpublished notes and documents. Their attitudes towards Lisey quickly turn from mild to threatening, and as she struggles to keep her husband`s life and work from the grasp of these jackals, Lisey escapes into the fantastical world that her husband used to go to for inspiration--a world peopled with strange, wonderful, and sometimes dangerous creatures.

"King is surprisingly introspective and mature here. He showcases the agony and the ecstasy of the writing process....One of King`s finest works." (starred review)
Maslin, Janet
"Mr. King has delivered his version of Joycean wordplay, idiosyncrasy, voluptuousness and stubborn, obsessive chronology in LISEY`S STORY."

"[Stephen King] reveals, with subtle precision, the profound strangeness of widowhood, when someone who was present for so much of a shared life is gone."
