The shining king5/27/2023 ![]() ![]() Now, desperate to clean up his act, finish the play he hopes will bring success, and become a better husband and father, he's taken the job of winter caretaker at the Overlook Hotel in Colorado. At one time a promising writer with literary aspirations, a beautiful wife and a young, gifted son, his alcoholism nearly cost him his marriage, while a fit of rage cost him his teaching job. Indeed, my lady has apparently checked into The Overlook Hotel four or five times (once in German), and thoroughly enjoyed or at least was utterly captivated and horrified by, each new visit. Though it was Under the Dome which prompted me to get back into regularly reading King, I do remember being surprised ten years ago by how good The Shining was, and upon a second read with my lady, the charm certainly hadn't faded. I first read The Shining in 2010 an isolated dip into King's writing between my period reading his books as a teen and young adult, and my rediscovery (and indeed further exploration), of King with my lady since 2015. ![]()
