In this groundbreaking study, Tony Magistrale shows how King's fiction transcends the escapism typical of its genre to tap into our deepest cultural fears: ""that the government we have installed through the democratic process is not only corrupt but actively pursuing our destruction, that our technologies have progressed to the point at which the individual has now become expendable, and that our fundamental social institutions - school, marriage, workplace, and the church - have, beneath their veneers of respectability, evolved into perverse manifestations of narcissism, greed, and violence.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: USItem Weight: 236gAuthor: Tony MagistraleGenre: Literary CriticismRelease Year: 1988 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
