Stephen's time at University of Maine

[champ1966]

This is Charles Manson, not Stephen King.

Spoiler

or did you already know that?

Erm...that's me.

Oh never mind - ignore my post above - just saw what you wrote now - sorry!

Ditto, I did exactly the same. Might start looking at threads before replying to quotes.

Hello folks!

This is kind of random, but I was wondering if anyone had any insight into Stephen's time at the University of Maine. I myself am both a King fan and a student at the university, and I started wondering: what was he involved in during his time here? What if he lived in the hall I currently live in? How wild would that be.

Stephen tweeted on Friday that a new book titled HEARTS IN SUSPENSION will be published in the fall of this year (possibly October) which will be a collection of essays written by Stephen and other classmates and teachers about his time as a student at the University of Maine.

Marsha, I would really like to know what Stephen thought of the debates between William F. Buckley and Gore Vidal which happened during televised debates in 1968.

There is a fascinating documentary called Best of Enemies. Just two men going after their conservative and liberal views in such a reserved and arrogant manner. Great fun to watch, at least I had a good time.

I'm not sure if he's covering that as I haven't seen his essay yet. They pretty much have the theme of the book already set out.

No, I don't mean for the book. I would just like to know his thoughts about them and those debates. Just a general question to him.

Seriously? This isn't an extended April Fool's joke? This will be a fascinating read then!

No joke. They've been working on it since last September I think, but I couldn't say anything earlier which made it a little more challenging answering the OP's question.

Will try to remember to ask.

That would be cool. The documentary was so interesting and I just wonder what he thought of them at the time.

Erm...that's me.

Yup.

I got the picture off Pinterest. I Googled Stephen King and Plymouth as I wanted too know if he owned a Plymouth. I wasn't sure, even thought I thought that he had.

We've had it on this site since we first redesigned it over a decade ago. It's in the Photo Gallery in the Author section.

Hairy bugger, wasn't he?

He doesn't look hairy to me.
