I would imagine it's not easy being married to someone with a mind like that who has been able to harness it and turn it into an epic contribution to the literary and media culture of the last half century. Genius and talent are not free, there is literally a dark side to creative people. I'm told it makes us difficult to live with. I'm by no means making a literal comparison, but I understand some of what is written between the lines of his books. Even the forwards and the afterwards sections. Or maybe I don't? Is this the wrong thread to be discussing Stephen King in? (That will go down as the silliest question ever)
