Wait, it was his wife who 'changed his life' (by rescuing some pages from a bin). But if they said 'wife' it would be too boring I suppose, so they went with 'misfit high school girl'.
- matt2000 10y agoI agree, this title sucks. How about: "How Steven King's wife's unwavering support saved Carrie from the trash can" Or really anything other than this title.
- kencausey 10y agoI agree that the title is misleading or at least unclear but I believe the misfit they are referring to is not Tabby but Carrie.
- Cyph0n 10y agoI'm confused too. Maybe they're referring to the fictional character the book is about?
- Zikes 10y agoAll too often a person's entry into success is described as a single moment where they finally catch a break, but I think it's more accurate to consider their life leading up to that moment. Perhaps Stephen King's success could also be attributed to a particularly effective English teacher in school, or supportive parents, or a particularly inspiring book he read when he was young. If we fail to account for the cumulative effects of the persistent pursuit of a goal, we start to get the impression of success as a single "lucky break".
- facepalm 10y agoI think they refer to Carrie, not the wife.
