On
Writing: A Memoir of the Craft |
|
| by Stephen King |
|
| The subtitle to On
Writing, his missive on the art and craft that have made him
rich and famous, is "A Memoir of the Craft." And that's
just what this book is. Beginning with his earliest childhood, when
his mother was struggling to raise Stephen and his older brother on
her own, King takes readers through his life, culminating with the
1999 tragedy that almost ended it. Interspersed with King's memories
are details that highlight his burgeoning career, all of it told in
King's uniquely folksy but slightly twisted style. Click

The
Song of Hiawatha |

| The Song of Hiawatha (1855)
is Longfellow's most popular and most recognized poem, the epic life
and death of a magic American Indian, sent by the Great Spirit to
guide the nations in the ways of peace. Hiawatha's marriage to
Minnehaha commences a golden age, until mischievous spirits entice
Hiawatha into further adventures. Based on Ojibwa legends and making
use of the meter of the Finnish folk epic Kalevala, Longfellow's
narrative poem was once universally familiar to American readers |
