'Good Read' lands King for interview Aug. 2

edited July 2004 in General news
Author Stephen King can be seen giving a rare television interview in his home state on the Maine PBS program "A Good Read" on Aug. 2.



The hourlong interview, conducted by host Sandy Phippen, will air at 8 p.m. and 10:30 p.m. It will be re-broadcast several times: 8 p.m. and 11 p.m. Aug. 6; 10 p.m. Aug. 9; 8:30 p.m. Aug. 13; 7:30 p.m. Aug. 14; and 10 a.m. Aug. 15.



The interview has already been conducted and filmed. To see a video clip from the interview, go online at www.mainepbs.org.



King, who lives in Bangor, talked in the interview about his decision to leave fantasy and horror behind for other kinds of writing. He said that he's working on a musical project with John Mellencamp, in which he will write the script and Mellencamp the music.



"I've done all the major monsters that I ever really wanted to deal with," King told Phippen. "I've said a lot of what I have to say (and) I see myself going back repeating theme formats and places I've been before."



King also reveals character developments in his ongoing "Dark Tower" series and speaks of struggles he's had writing a book on writing.



The King interview will be aired on all five channels of Maine PBS: WMEA (Channel 26) in Biddeford; WCBB (Channel 10) in Augusta/Portland; WMEB (Channel 12) in Orono; WMED (Channel 13) in Calais; and WMEM (Channel 10) in Presque Isle.

  • Bev: you are an absolute goldmine when it comes to things King related.



    Maybe we should have a topic thread somewhere called King topics that will stump Bev



    I am not too optimistic it would work or that you would be stumped though :-/ ::)



    lol
  • Well, the clip of the interview on the website has an excerpt that goes something like this (note that this is not an exact quote but something I committed to memory) :





    **********POSSIBLE SPOILER******************



    I wanted the book to hurt the readers...







    I hope he is not referring to DT7. Although, if it is a good hurting I think I could take that. But then again, is there such a thing as a good hurting?? ;D
  • A reminder for people with access to Maine PBS

    Pity the Con ended before this was shown or you guys there can organize it into your program :(
