Commentary Concering Books Lisey's Story
Lisey Debusher Landon lost her husband, Scott, two years ago, after a twenty-five year marriage of the most profound and sometimes frightening intimacy. Scott was an award-winning, bestselling novelist and a very complicated man. Early in their relationship, before they married, Lisey had to learn from him about books and blood and bools. Later, she understood that there was a place Scott went--a place that both terrified and healed him, that could eat him alive or give him the ideas he needed in order to live. Now it's Lisey's turn to face Scott's demons, Lisey's turn to go to Boo'ya Moon. What begins as a widow's efforts to sort through the papers of her celebrated husband becomes a nearly fatal journey into the darkness he inhabited. Perhaps King's most personal and powerful novel, Lisey's Story is about the wellsprings of creativity, the temptations of madness, and the secret language of love.(front flap)

She would have thought two years was enough time for the strangeness to rub off, but it wasnt; time apparently did nothing but blunt griefs sharpest edge so that it hacked rather than sliced.In an interview with Rolling Stone magazine, Stephen King named Liseys Story as the best book he ever wrote. Its a deeply personal story with a passionate marriage providing a strong anchor at its core, which King pulls from his relationship with his wife Tabitha. But, its also covers a wide range of themesNot too many years ago, I embarked on a Stephen King marathon (that lasted me a good two years in itself). I did re-read quite a lot of the great mans books (quite a few of them for first time in original language) along with completing with the ones I missed/avoided. My only other rule though, was to not re-read the ones I had read in recent times and therefore this one was skipped then and read now for first time in English. Ive always been fond of this, ever since reading the Swedish
I've been reading a lot of "New" Stephen King lately, books that I've put off reading because I was afraid that they would not be as good as "Old" Stephen King. I wish I had not, because while "New" King is different, he is still The King. I listened to it on audio, but kind of followed along in the book too, sort of. Mare Winningham did a good job reading, and after a while I got used to her voices, although I think that she added a bit too much to the story. She made certain characters sound
Lisey Debusher Landon is the widow of Scott Landon, the Stephen King stand-in here, an author who achieved fame in his early 20s and never let go, soon becoming and then remaining a best-selling novelist. King weaves several time lines, Landons bizarre childhood and his relationship with his father and brother, the courtship of Landon and Lisey, an assassination attempt on Landon by a psycho, Landons later illness, and the present. Lisey, two years after Scotts death, is still tidying up his
As I read Liseys Story by Stephen King, I am reminded why I love Kings work so much. It is constantly changing, constantly evolving. Each book is a different experiment. Each book is a different tale; yet no two are the same.King has gone beyond the horror genre with Liseys Story and written a, dare I say it, literary masterpiece. Its part horror, part love story, part tribute to a womans husband. Its part creepshow, part romance and absolutely unclassifiable. King has written a novel that,
I listened to the audio version of this book, and I got so tired of Mare Winningham reading all of the ridiculous nonsense words, that I couldn't even finish it. She was a great narrator, and I actually felt sorry for her. The story went nowhere, and it was hard to care about the characters. This is one of King's worst, IMO
All I can say is that getting to the last page was a relief. Reading this novel was like staring at a cow for five hours.
