If youve followed Kings career, theres one aspect of the man that has increasingly been made more obvious. The man is a romantic. Its been evident in the past with stories like The Body, Shawshank and even Pet Sematary but never more so than when he dropped Liseys Story on us in 2006. The novel tells the story of a woman who is the widow of a famous novelist who, while cleaning out her dead husbands office, begins to remember their life together all while being stalked by a crazed fan of her husband. Its a complicated narrative that tells two stories over the course of the novel. You spend time with Lisey as she cleans her husbands office and is stalked by the maniac but most of the novel is spent in the past as she remembers their complicated marriage. Its one of the richest stories King has ever told and definitely the most romantic. Being married myself, I have no shame in admitting it made me cry and deepened the love I have for my own wife. This also happens to be Kings favorite of all the novels hes published over the years. Like I said, hes a romantic.
