Maine, 1947 to 2000. Stephen King grows up poor in a rented house in Durham, sells his first story at nineteen for thirty-five dollars, and spends four years after college teaching high-school English for a salary that will not cover the telephone bill. He writes in a furnace room and a trailer laundry alcove, at a child's desk on his knees, for men's magazines that pay by the word and settle on publication. Then a paperback house buys one novel and the arithmetic of his life changes in a single telephone call. This is an account of a trade — its rates, its contracts, its editors, its hours — told through the fifty years in which one man worked at it. Covers Stephen King.
