of his books, they are all like that. It took me a couple of tries to get through The Great Santini because the dad was a lot like my dad even though my dad was never military and it was kind of creepy because of that.
I like his books a lot too although I have not read the last one about basketball.
(Not that I created it, of course.) Like all the great horror writers, King does best with short stories. I love his story collections and generally don't care for his novels.
is that now that I have read George Lakoff, for me, the father in that book is just the epitome of Lakoff's "strict father" model. It's the only way I can make any sense about the "strict father" model because my entire family is so darn "nurturant parent" that the "strict father" is just completely incomprehensible to me. :P
I agree wholeheartedly!!! I heard it takes Pat Conroy like 9 years on average to write a book -- it really shows! His books are SO well written. He is definitely one of my favorite authors and Beach Music one of my favorite books!
