And isn't the number of copies sold somewhat arbitrary? King would be the first to tell you there are plenty of great writers who are not bestsellers (and plenty of not-so-great ones who are.) Why not say, as Joyce Carol Oates did when introducing him at Princeton, that he's the world's bestselling author and leave it at that? As for 'many have been adapted', that's mentioned later in paragraph.

Nixed quote from Gross interview, 'King named his town of Castle Rock after the mountain fort in 'Lord of the Flies'; interesting, but can be found on respective pages of Lord of the Flies, Castle Rock.

Again this is taking away the context of what King thought of any influence from an unremembered event that may have happened when he was four. He describes that as specious. Tag: Undo
curprev 03:3403:34, 19 March 2024‎ Charlie Faust talk contribs‎ 157,032 bytes +21‎ I was accused of removing the story on 16:17, 14 March 2024‎. But, if you look at the history, you'll find I didn't do it. Wish I could take credit for it, but it was Simonm223 who removed it, duly noting that "The quote from danse macabre was being misrepresented. King refers to the idea that an event he doesn't remember and that may not have happened when he was four as specious and little better than astrology." Tag: Reverted

curprev 20:2820:28, 11 March 2024‎ Charlie Faust talk contribs‎ 156,865 bytes +48‎ I never said, not once, that it was dubious to note that the tale was in Danse Macabre. I know that's where it originates. Rather, the tale itself is dubious, partly because King doesn't seem to have mentioned it anywhere before or since, certainly not in his memoir On Writing. Moreover, it flies in the face of established principles of psychology; it is described as a textbook case of dissociative amnesia: 'he has no memory of the event'. Had he witnessed it, he would surely recall it. No dice. Tag: Manual revert

curprev 16:5316:53, 11 March 2024‎ Charlie Faust talk contribs‎ 156,865 bytes +48‎ I was not saying it was dubious to note that the tale is related in Danse Macabre (it is). Rather, I was saying that the tale is itself dubious, as it flies in the face of established principles of psychology (see Loftus, et al.) Had King witnessed such an event, he would have recalled it at the time, as traumatic events are usually the ones we recall most clearly. Per the article, he did not. He would recall it now. Per the article, 'he has no memory of the event.' Tag: Reverted
