Feel that the painting is finished, and when you feel – put a pencil or brush. All the rest -. Only life
Stephen King, “Duma Key”
Please, excuse me, I’ll tell a couple of stories about himself
The first story.. My age 9. His father brings me to a new, fresh, still smelling of paint after repairs, library.
Now everything is cool. Adult Library (but also with the Department of Children’s Literature). Enchant librarian, he knocks me a subscription to both departments. The first book that I see, the cover is exhibited at the stand of new arrivals. It shows the gate with a terrible muzzle on top. Muzzle grins and moves his tentacles like snakes, like Medusa. the book is called – “Hopelessness”. Author Stephen King. It was love at first sight.
He said to himself: “One day, I read this book.” Read King I started, though, later, with the twelve. The first book was a collection of short stories “Nightmares and Dreamscapes”.
History of the second. I really like the classmate Katya. Ways to get close any selected. All good. So why not a book? Kate is crazy about the TV series “The X-Files” and the corresponding book series. Once she went to a bookstore and offers at the same time, and buy me something.
I give her 30 rubles, and ask volume by Stephen King. I emphasize – only in hardcover. I, nevertheless, a collection going. Foolish situation, is not it? But, you know, I’m 13 years old. And what’s the difference? She would do anything for me. We will see another topic of conversation. In the end, I would object to which touched it! And she touches that I love very much. Fetish good, is not it? Kate brings me immediately … two books in paperback! You know, subconsciously, as a memory of childhood, I still love her. But, nevertheless, some things are better not to trust women.
In general, the book by Stephen King in some sense chronological nick of my life.
The novel “Duma Key” I liked very much. What is it – a new meeting with an old friend or a meeting with the old? By and large, it does not matter. And even if we ignore the nostalgic nonsense, this book, I would like in any case. Why? Yes, because it’s a great novel.
The owner of a construction company, Edgar Freemantle becomes the victim of an accident that in the literal sense, disfigures and destroys all his past life. Getting out of the coma, he finds the body of the broken and chewed; right hand there, but the memory is confused, even the right words is not always possible to find. What’s next? Only the continuation of a nightmare. Painful recovery, which replaced the fear of dying fear comes not die. At that moment a sharp pain gives way to stretch the agony. A life in which his wife, with whom he had lived for decades, looking at her husband, as a stranger. A life in which the rage takes precedence over reason, veiled eyes red veil, makes do what not even remember when, but then his wife looks on in horror Edgar and demands a divorce. Lick their physical and emotional wounds Edgar sent to the small island of Duma Key at the coast of California. His psychotherapist – black whale Kamen – offers a switch, try to do something that enjoyed in the past, but it was postponed for lack of time. What could it be? “I used to be painted” – says Edgar and begins to draw. Incredibly, a cripple, a large part of his life businessman, a person who does not hold a brush in his hand, in the blink of an eye becomes a brilliant artist, whose paintings are fascinating. His paintings – part of reality. But the reality still fascinating and frightening.
This late novel by Stephen King wants to be called a masterpiece in the writer. But in order not to cause unnecessary disputes, I would say that this is one of the best books of the writer. Of course, it is very much from the King. Many an old. The motives of creativity as a force changing the world ( “The Dark Half”, “Rose Madder”, “History of Lizzie”). Mansion, keeping their terrible secrets. ( “The Shining”, “Black House”) and even a small dead girl! ( “Shine”) A children’s drawings, with the creation of which come to life in reality? ( “Regulators”) World awful here, by the way, intersects with the “History of Lizzie” (another great later novels of the master): “Big boy – he ZHUBY!”
However, the most remarkable thing that this novel from those rare glimpses when King dares to not adhere to the usual course of horror, but creates prose realism. ( “Hearts in Atlantis”) Remember in the “dark half” of the protagonist, in his realistic novels about the life of the American heartland, just slipped affecting their brutality episodes? Here’s the same story. It seems to me, a certain level of master Stephen King has reached in the “History of Lizzie,” but we have to admit that this is not an easy book to read, sometimes even wildly boring. Therefore, the “Lizzie” was received with a lukewarm. In “Dyume” King skillfully recovering indulging and yours, and ours. So the first half of the novel, which has no mysticism, read not nearly as good, and no less exciting than it would have been written about the mystical world of pain and horror. By the way, then I would have said that was a mystical final part of the book plays a non-mystic
The great advantage of the novel -. Suspense. How King describes the recovery of our hero, his conversation with the therapist, the nature of the island, the house, the conversation about art, but just shopping in the supermarket – all imbued with unspoken darkness. That’s something to be done. This novel, like few, able to keep on their toes. He pulls the reader’s nerves, like a child crown toy – a little bit more and a spring break
Have I the pleasure of the book.? Undoubtedly. Summer will pass. Come September. Will the 21st number. And again, as once in school days with a friend, something of bravado, something fooling around, I will raise a glass to the health of the writer. Oh, after reading “Duma Key,” I just have to do it.
Read the novel by Stephen King
