Stephen King the King of Terror 's 5 pm, I left work, I have a chat with Stephen King at 7 pm. I get home my brown shirt buttons rather boring and I have seen with my long-sleeved black shirt with white print that reads: "Born 2 Win", my friends say it seem a rebellious teenager and my friends an arrogant, I do not care The pole is a gift and I love it also if you have that stupid stamped on his chest, find the black jeans and fleece in the closet, I look in the mirror and think I look like a Stephen King fan, now I sincerely between PC and Mr. King did not know much, everything I read it was "on writing" which is a non-fiction book where the author gives some tips for being a good writer, I have also seen two films based on his writings: Misery and The Green Mile, apart from that I do not think you can argue a lot.
five minutes late to "Battersea Park Events Arena, the guys at the door greeted me and I show them my ticket, in a bar and after that the audience is incredible as the room is ready for a concert by the Rolling Stones, giant screens at each hand, the canopy roof is black and white lucesitas amount that gives an effect as happy to place. There are 3 000 people have today, the first thing I noticed is that everyone is dressed elegantly, there's no turning back and I'm dressed as a fan of Stephen King, at least I hope so.
A girl comes to me and help me confused, is 19 years old wearing the shirt of staff of Mr. King, has a horn-rimmed glasses and a pair of blond ponytails on the sides of the head, greeted me with kindness and asked whether help me find my seat ticket and give my thanks for the kindness, I ask if the daughter or relative of the author.
is that she has something of Mr King on his face, I say no, but came Estates with the entire delegation, I make a few jokes and laughs with subtlety, I said my seat and discovered that I am the last of the row, I make a comment on my bad luck and she encouraged me: you're here is important, many people did not get a seat, "he says.
No wonder the mega-event, remember that King has sold 100 million books, everything he does becomes a best seller, is also a hugely prolific writer has written more than forty books, if compared with the three who wrote James Joyce, for example.
When the interviewer enters the scene the first thing he says is, they need five people to fill the first row, see the "daughter of Stephen King "raise your hand and make the sign number one, then comes running takes me by the hand and leads me down the aisle of the media in search of that seat" gold ", as we walk I feel like I would be marrying a second time but of course this time no one has good wishes for me and the looks are with envy.
I left my seat preference, and I owe her smile again, Stephen King comes out and sits three feet from me in the midst of applause, that "milk" - I say. Mr King has
cherry shirt and blue jeans, his glasses are like champagne bottle poto, gruesÃsimos, is thin and tall, making us a comment of his boots, said it was a gift from John Grisham another American author, says that the use Grisham's friend who died in the Gulf War, and he uses it in response to the violence that exists in his country, is harshly criticized the Bush administration throughout the talk.
tells us that his new book "Lisey's Story" is very personal to him, is a marriage, the temptations of madness, the secret language of love.
says that when his wife read it said, "it was very personal and intimate and she looked at some of the passages in the book," then he said: "... if you would not publish it, I have enough money in my mind, and although for me it means a lot you are more important ... "
To which his wife replied," is too good not to publish it. "
The interviewer is small and curly hair, takes the microphone and remember to turn off their cellphones and take pictures is strictly forbidden, only accept the TV cameras and photographs from The Times, there are plenty of security guards surrounding environment .
Stephen complains that they have typecast as a horror writer, he does not feel well, blames the machinery, people read and libraries need to label it to find it on a shelf and then put it in the Thriller genre to things easier.
also feel that the press has become an arrogant, says ... "right now there is a fire and no one call the fire department that we all have cell phones off, we burned them all. Tomorrow dies out in the newspaper and Stephen King There are three thousand other ....", laughter of those present and continues with jokes of arrogance.
notice that Stephen has a great sense of humor, writing does not understand that terror is calm and very sharp with words. I also bought his new book, is the size of Bible, how to write this, I think, hopefully one day I read all this. King
After we read a few pages of his book, the host tells us that ticket raffle numbers, can not autograph Sthephen King 3 000 books, only make a hundred, the numbers appear on the screen, between the last out my number. I make the tail, when it's my turn, I greet with a handshake, has long bony hands, his skin color is very white, her hand is cold, when I'm going, I dare to photograph it, the devil's rule is Mr. King by God is not Edgar Allan Poe, I click my camera, security may well be the administrator of a Mc Donald, grabs me and takes my camera, Stephen calls it shows my security camera, two chatted for a while and watch the camera, then the security I surrender, I say, "... a BIG MAC please ...", but say nothing. I head for the exit, I check my digital machine and luckily for the few who read this blog have deleted the photo I took, I have the book under his arm with the signing of the author and the dedication with the name of a friend, I know it's a great lover of literature of the king of terror.
